Data as of 2026-11-04. NASDAQ, United States. Sector: Industrials / Rail & Road Transport. Price $32.00, market value $844 million.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 533.3×** (5-yr avg 7.0×, 3-yr avg 8.3×). Universal Logistics Holdings Inc. trades at 533.3× trailing earnings, well above its own five-year average of 7.0×: investors are paying up relative to the company's past. The Industrials median in the September 2026 study was 25.7×. Forward P/E is 16.0×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **Price / sales: 0.6×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.6×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 1.5×**. The shares trade at 1.5× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 17.3×**. Enterprise value is 17.3× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 4.3%** (5-yr avg -1.1%). Free cash flow equals 4.3% of the market value, above its five-year average of -1.1%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been.
- **Earnings yield: 0.2%**. The inverse of the P/E: 0.2% of the price is earned each year.

## 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.
- **Current ratio: 1.20** (quick 1.20). Current assets cover the next year's liabilities 1.20 times.
- **Piotroski F-score: 3/9**. 3 of 9 checks pass: weak or deteriorating financials.

- **From 52-week high: -0.1%** (172.8% above the low). Trading within 5% of 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): 85**. An RSI of 85 is in overbought territory; short-term pullbacks are common from here.
- **Beta (1 yr): 1.35** (volatility 94%). Beta of 1.35 against the S&P 500: the shares move much more than the market.
