Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
TRV receives a 4-star rating, supported by solid unit economics, solid company fundamentals, and solid quantitative characteristics. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum, and limited analyst upside.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
TRV has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with solid financial health, solid growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid earnings growth (+25.8%) and strong cash generation (FCF margin 21.7%) are partially offset by moderate revenue growth (+5.2%), very low insider ownership of 0.28%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
TRV's financial health is supported by strong cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation of $10.6B (21.7% of revenue). Profitability is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 4-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Earnings growth is TRV's strongest growth driver at +25.8% FY2025 versus FY2024 (solid, 4 stars). Revenue growth (+5.2%, moderate) and free-cash-flow growth (+16.9%, solid) are also constructive, though not equally high across every growth measure.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 91.3% and approximately 97.7% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership is only 0.28%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

State Street Corp 7.53%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 6.66%
FMR Inc 4.93%
Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC 3.99%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
TRV generates approximately $294 of gross profit, $160 of operating income, and $217 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Solid margins and strong cash conversion support the rating, although capital efficiency remains solid.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 19.34%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
TRV has a high-quality, large-cap, liquid, relatively low-volatility profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
