Analysis

Universal Electronics Inc (UEIC) currently trades at $4.76, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $13.31, implying the stock looks roughly 179.6% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 58/100 (solid quality), in the Technology sector. Bull case: trading below our estimate, it may offer upside if the fundamentals hold. Bear case: a low price can be a value trap when quality is weak or the data is thin (evidence: medium), always confirm before acting.

Over the trailing twelve months, Universal Electronics Inc generated revenue of $355M at a net margin of -5.5%. Revenue declined 14.4% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -13.6%. Net debt stands at $1.2M. Fundamentals as of Jul 24, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $9.96 (bear case) to $16.66 (bull case); at $4.76, the current price sits below that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 35% below its 52-week high and 77% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Technology peers we cover trades at -16% fair-value upside, at 180%, UEIC screens cheaper than that median.

Fair Value models

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.

Model Bear Bear = the cautious scenario: the same model computed with conservative anchors (lower growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bull it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target.BaseBull Bull = the optimistic scenario: the same model computed with favourable anchors (higher growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bear it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target. Evidence
