UTStarcom Holdings (UTSI) Fair Value & Analysis

Technology · US · Market cap $22.3M

Below-average quality, screening 36% undervalued on our models.

What matters now

• The large discount to fair value meets weak quality (40/100). That raises the risk this is a value trap rather than a bargain.
• The large gap to fair value rests on thin data (low evidence): fewer applicable models and a shorter history. Read it with extra caution.
• A fairly wide model range ($2.23 to $4.23) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

Analysis

UTStarcom Holdings (UTSI) currently trades at $2.50, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $3.39, implying the stock looks roughly 35.6% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 40/100 (below-average 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: low), always confirm before acting.

Over the trailing twelve months, UTStarcom Holdings generated revenue of $9.0M at a net margin of -88.6%. Revenue declined 15.8% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -19.5%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of $39.3M. Fundamentals as of Jul 22, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $2.23 (bear case) to $4.23 (bull case); at $2.50, the current price sits within 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 31% below its 52-week high and 25% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Technology peers we cover trades at -61% fair-value upside, at 36%, UTSI 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.

How we calculate Fair Value

Each company is valued through a stack of independent intrinsic-value models (DCF variants, residual-income, multiples and more), blended into one family-balanced consensus and weighted by how much trustworthy data backs it. A separate quality layer scores the fundamentals. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.
