Dip: business intact

63/100

The price is 58% below its 52-week high (Jan 5), but the business held up: revenue +38.6%, earnings per share +125.1%, shares outstanding fewer shares, each owns more.

Business numbers as reported at the high (12 months to Sep 30, 2025) vs the latest filing (12 months to Sep 30, 2026). Each measure is scored from −1 (business changed) to +1 (business intact) and weighted: revenue, earnings per share, free cash flow, operating margin, revenue growth rate, share count, net cash and the move vs its sector. 60 or more reads as a dip, 40 or less as a repricing. Analyst estimates are not in our data, so they are not used. How to read it

Data-based read, not advice.

Priced in

How much growth the market assumed at the 52-week high, the low and today (a reverse DCF).

52-wk high: P/E 172.7×; 52-wk low: P/E 38.8×; now: P/E 32.3×.

HighLowNow
Price$50.70Jan 5$21.31Nov 2$21.31
P/E172.7×38.8×32.3×

What this means: a lower P/E than at the high means you pay less for each dollar of profit than buyers did then.

How it’s computed

Banks, insurers and lenders: cash flow includes deposits and loans, so a cash-flow model doesn't fit; we show P/E at each point instead. P/E = that day's close × diluted shares / 12-month net income, using only the filings that were public on that day.

Valuation

What we estimate it's worth, and how it ranks on value vs every stock we cover.

Fair value estimate

No estimate for UPST: SEC share count doesn't match the listed shares (share class / ADR ratio unclear). We’d rather show nothing than a made-up number.

Risk vs market

How risk vs market is measured

One year of daily returns (Oct 31 to Nov 2, 252 sessions). Beta = how much UPST moved for each 1% move in the S&P 500 (SPY); 1.0 moves with the market. Volatility is the yearly standard deviation of daily returns. Past behavior, not a forecast.

High

Swings much more than the market, and its own price swings are 5.1× the S&P 500’s.
