How to read this chart
60‑month range $5.35 – $51.20 · fair‑value band $13.32 – $30.52 · the $21.60 price screens above the $20.98 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). Dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 13, 2026.
Analysis
Universal Technical Institute Inc (UTI) currently trades at $21.60, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $20.98, implying the stock looks roughly 3.0% fairly valued today. The Quality Score stands at 47/100 (below-average quality), in the Consumer Defensive sector. Bull case: the Growth Earnings group reads highest at a median of $22.52 per share, and 10 of the 24 models we run sit above the $21.60 price. Bear case: the Asset-Based group reads lowest at $3.99, and 14 of the 24 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is high.
Over the trailing twelve months, Universal Technical Institute Inc generated revenue of $869M at a net margin of 4.9%. Revenue grew 6.7% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 13.5%. Net debt stands at $152M. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $13.32 (bear case) to $30.52 (bull case); at $21.60, 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 53% below its 52-week high and 1% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Defensive peers we cover trades at 8% fair-value upside, at −3%, UTI screens richer than that median.
Fair Value models
This estimate rests on fiscal year 2025 figures, and about 11 months have passed since. In that time the company retained roughly $0.7059 per share, which is 3.4 % of the fair value. The fair value deliberately does not add this in: the models value reported figures, not a projection.
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted, family-balanced 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. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.
All 24 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth Earnings ($22.52) versus Asset-Based ($3.99). Highest evidence: FCF DCF (80).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 52 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 17
Non-valuation factor families (profitability, growth, cashflow, financial strength, momentum …), each academically grounded. Valuation itself sits in the Fair Value and is deliberately excluded here to avoid double-counting.
All values are scores from 0 to 100 (100 = best against fixed, research-based bands), not percentages. The three market factors (momentum, 52-week proximity, low volatility) are displayed but carry zero weight in the headline number: market sentiment is not a business property.
