Overall Score

Growth Runway

UPBD still has a long-term growth path, but the current metrics point to a mature, low-growth profile rather than a clear compounding story.

Revenue per share of 83.62 and asset turnover of 1.53 suggest the business can generate meaningful sales from its asset base, but not at a high-growth pace.

Profitability

Margins remain thin at the bottom line, with net profit margin at 1.9% and EBIT margin at 5.0%, limiting the quality of long-term growth.

Return on invested capital of 6.5% and return on equity of 12.8% indicate acceptable but not exceptional capital efficiency.

Financial Strength

Leverage is manageable but not light, with debt-to-equity at 2.33 and net debt to EBITDA at 0.91.

Liquidity is a weak point, as the current ratio is 0.87 and working capital remains negative at -67.6M.

Cash Generation

Cash generation is a clear strength, with free cash flow yield at 31.1% and free cash flow to firm at 431.6M.

Capital intensity appears low, with capex at just 1.5% of revenue and capex-to-operating cash flow at 16.3%.

Valuation

The stock screens as inexpensive on cash flow and sales, with EV/sales at 0.58 and price-to-free-cash-flow at 3.21.

Earnings-based valuation is less compelling than cash-flow valuation, with P/E at 12.3 and a modest earnings yield of 8.1%.
