Free-cash-flow margin fell to 2.5% from 6.4% a year earlier. Against its peers on growth, profitability, cash generation and balance sheet, it grades C+. It passes 2 of our 2 financial-health checks. Our cash-flow model value is $11.65 a share, against a share price of $5.09. At that price, our model says the market is pricing in cash flow shrinking about 12.1% a year for five years, close to the -11.3% a year revenue growth it has delivered.

The Fundamentalytics view

Next results ~November 5, 2026 (estimated)

Universal Electronics Inc's trailing-twelve-month revenue fell 17.9% year on year, with a free-cash-flow margin of 2.5%. Where it stands out: stock pay as % of revenue of 0.9% ranks 2 of 9 consumer electronics companies we cover.

Our discounted-cash-flow model values the business at ~$11 per share in the base case (~$8.5–$14 across growth scenarios) — model values under stated assumptions, not a price target.

Current signal Free cash flow diverging from earnings: TTM free cash flow fell 68.0% while net income grew 7.8%: a 76pp divergence.

Valuation

Universal Electronics Inc valuation models and calculator

What the price is pricing in

The share price implies cash flow shrinking about 12.6% a year for five years.That is close to the -11.3% a year revenue growth Universal Electronics has delivered.

  • Priced in-12.6%
  • Last 12 months-17.9%
  • 3 years a year-12.1%
  • 5 years a year-11.3%

Our cash-flow model with every input fixed except growth over the next five years, solved for the growth at which the model value equals the share price ($4.95, Nov 3, 2026). Cash-flow growth then fades to 2.5% a year; discount rate 8.5%. Delivered figures are revenue growth from SEC filings.

How we got here: a discounted-cash-flow model of Universal Electronics Inc's free cash flow after stock-based pay with after-tax interest added back ($7.8M, FY2026 Q2 TTM), growing -1.2% and 3.7% in the next two years (forecasts, guidance and its record), then back to 4% by year five, and fading to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5%. Lower and higher growth cases span ~$8.5–~$14 ; that spread sets a 25% margin before we rate Buy or Sell.

Produced by Fundamentalytics' automated valuation model on November 3, 2026, using delayed market prices. Rating meanings, methodology and conflicts: recommendations disclosure and research disclaimer. General research, not personal advice — it does not consider your circumstances. Prices can fall as well as rise.

Our value per share comes from a discounted-cash-flow model of Universal Electronics Inc's free cash flow after stock-based pay ( $7.8M, FY2026 Q2 TTM, with after-tax interest added back): growth for five years as below (the first two years from forecasts, guidance and the company's record), fading to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5%, then cash added and debt and other claims subtracted. These are model values under stated assumptions, not price targets or recommendations.

Valuation models

We value Universal Electronics Inc as an operating company, with every model that fits that kind of business. Cost of equity 10.2%: the 10-year Treasury yield (4.9%) plus a beta of 1.18 times a 4.5% equity risk premium.

Moat

56 /100

Moderate moat

How hard Universal Electronics's competitive advantage looks for rivals to wear away, judged from 10 years of its own filings: returns on capital, pricing power, profit durability, cash conversion and discipline.

  • Returns on capital 15 / 20

    Cash operating profit has been a median 11.6% of total assets over 10 years.

  • Pricing power 9 / 20

    Gross margin has been a median 26.0%, moving by 3.1 percentage points (standard deviation) across 10 years.

  • Durability 10 / 20

    Operating margin has been a median -0.0%; its worst year was -12.1%.

  • Cash conversion 8 / 20

    Free cash flow was positive in 7 of 10 years, at a median 2.6% of revenue.

  • Discipline 19 / 20

    The diluted share count fell 7.0% over five years; stock-based pay has been a median 1.6% of revenue.

AI disruption exposure: Medium. In this industry, AI could change how the product is made or sold, without replacing the core asset. The score above includes a 5-point deduction for that exposure (61 before it).
