Upturn Advisory & Investor View for TRMB

10/09/2026: TRMB (2-star) has a low Upturn Star Rating. Not recommended to BUY.

Trimble Inc is an industrial technology company known for integrating precision hardware with cloud-based software to improve productivity in construction, agriculture, and logistics. The company’s primary strength lies in its successful 'hardware-enabled SaaS' model, which drives sticky, recurring subscription revenue while maintaining a strong foothold in physical positioning markets. Its main investment story centers on the digital transformation of historically slow-to-digitize industries. However, investors must monitor risks related to cyclical economic downturns in construction and the execution challenges of integrating major acquisitions. Trimble may best suit long-term growth investors who appreciate a resilient, platform-oriented industrial play and are comfortable with the absence of a dividend.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
TRMB receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
TRMB has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with moderate financial health, soft growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid profitability (net margin 11.8%) is partially offset by negative earnings growth (-71.8%), soft cash generation (FCF margin 3.7%), slightly negative revenue growth (-2.6%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
TRMB's financial health is supported by solid cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (3.7% of revenue). Liquidity is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
TRMB's growth profile is soft, with the least-weak measure being revenue growth at -2.6% FY2025 versus FY2024. By comparison, while earnings growth (-71.8%, negative) and free-cash-flow growth (-73.2%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 102.7% and approximately 99.5% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership is only 0.40%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

State Street Corp 4.99%
Morgan Stanley - Brokerage Accounts 4.33%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
TRMB generates approximately $683 of gross profit, $169 of operating income, and $37 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Moderate margins and weak cash conversion support a 3-star rating, while capital efficiency is soft.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 16.76%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
TRMB has a large-cap, liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while valuation that is moderately attractive rather than deeply discounted.
