AI Analysis

AI-generated, general educational analysis — not personal investment advice.

I approach Universal Technical Institute as an education business with a decent history but a difficult present. FairStock labels it a FAST GROWER from filed annual results: profit grew 51.1% a year and revenue 22.7% over five years. Filed figures support the longer record. In fiscal 2025, the year ended 2025-09-30, revenue was $835.6M and net income $63.0M, up from $732.7M and $42.0M in fiscal 2024, which itself rose from $607.4M and $12.3M in fiscal 2023. But the latest filed quarter is weak: in fiscal Q3 2026, the quarter ended 2026-06-30, revenue was $218.9M and net income only $2.3M, or $0.04 per diluted share, versus $10.7M of net income in fiscal Q3 2025. That is severe margin compression.

In plain English: Universal Technical Institute runs schools that train people for transportation, skilled trades, and healthcare jobs. The company has grown its sales over recent years, but profit has dropped sharply in its latest reported quarter and cash flow is negative. At the recent price, investors are paying a lot compared with its current earnings and accounting value, so it does not look cheap.
