# Universal Logistics Holdings Inc. (ULH) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NASDAQ, United States. Sector: Industrials / Transportation Infrastructure. Price $19.01, market value $501 million.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). Universal Logistics Holdings Inc. reported negative earnings over the last twelve months, so the P/E is not meaningful; use price-to-sales, EV/EBITDA and free-cash-flow yield instead.
- **Price / sales: 0.3×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.3×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 0.9×**. The shares trade below book value, which can signal a bargain or a balance sheet the market doubts.
- **EV / EBITDA: 13.6×**. Enterprise value is 13.6× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 7.3%** (5-yr avg -1.1%). Free cash flow equals 7.3% of the market value, above its five-year average of -1.1%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.

## Profitability
- **Operating margin: -3.3%**. Operating margin is negative: the business loses money before interest and tax.
- **Net margin: -6.4%**. The company reported a net loss over the last twelve months.
- **Return on equity: -18.5%**. Return on equity is negative because earnings are negative.
- **Return on invested capital: -3.0%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is -3.0%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: -5.2%**. Each dollar of assets produces -5.2% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): -15.6%** (3-yr -8.2%/yr, 5-yr 2.3%/yr). Revenue fell 15.6% over the last year, against 2.3% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): -176.9%**. Earnings per share fell 176.9%, slower than revenue, so margins compressed.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 1.48**. Debt is 1.48 times equity, a leveraged balance sheet that needs steady cash flow to service.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 8.3×**. It would take 8.3 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, above the 3× level most lenders treat as comfortable.
- **Piotroski F-score: 3/9**. 3 of 9 checks pass: weak or deteriorating financials.

## Dividends
- **Dividend yield: 2.21%** ($0.42 per share, trailing). Universal Logistics Holdings Inc. yields 2.21%, a modest yield more typical of a growth-oriented payer.
- **Consecutive years of increases: 5**. 5 straight years of increases.
- **Dividend growth (5 yr): 14.9%/yr** (1-yr 0.0%). The dividend has compounded at 14.9% a year over five years, doubling roughly every 5 years at that pace.

## Price and momentum
- **Total return (1 yr): -22.9%** (YTD 26.7%, 3-mo 10.5%). The shares are down 22.9% over twelve months including dividends.
- **From 52-week high: -26.4%** (62.1% above the low). Trading 26% below its 52-week high.
- **200-day average: above**. The price sits above its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of an uptrend.
- **RSI (14-day): 55**. An RSI of 55 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): 2.04** (volatility 87%). Beta of 2.04 against the S&P 500: the shares move much more than the market.
