Financial Health Signals

Financial Profile 52/100

Based on FY2025 annual data. Scores normalized against common benchmarks. How we calculate these scores

Profitability

Universal Technical Institute has an operating margin of 10.0%, meaning the company retains $10 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This results in a moderate score of 44/100, indicating healthy but not exceptional operating efficiency. This is up from 8.0% the prior year.

Growth

Universal Technical Institute's revenue grew 14.0% year-over-year to $835.6M, a solid pace of expansion. This earns a growth score of 57/100.

Leverage

Universal Technical Institute carries a low D/E ratio of 0.26, meaning only $0.26 of long-term debt for every $1 of shareholders' equity. This conservative leverage earns a score of 97/100, indicating a strong balance sheet with room for future borrowing.

Liquidity

Universal Technical Institute's current ratio of 1.07 means current assets barely cover short-term liabilities. This tight liquidity results in a low score of 16/100, which could limit financial flexibility.

Cash Flow

Universal Technical Institute has a free cash flow margin of 6.6%, earning a moderate score of 42/100. The company generates positive cash flow after capital investments, but with room for improvement.

Returns

Universal Technical Institute's ROE of 19.2% shows moderate profitability relative to equity, earning a score of 54/100. This is up from 16.1% the prior year.

Altman Z-Score Safe

4.01

Universal Technical Institute scores 4.01, well above the 2.99 safe threshold. The score is driven primarily by a large market capitalization ($2.0B) relative to total liabilities ($498.0M). This indicates low bankruptcy risk based on profitability, leverage, and asset efficiency.

Piotroski F-Score Neutral

6/9

Universal Technical Institute passes 6 of 9 financial strength tests. All 4 profitability signals pass (positive income, cash flow, and earnings quality), 1 of 3 leverage/liquidity signals pass, both operating efficiency signals pass.

Earnings Quality Cash-Backed

1.54x

Interest Coverage Safe

14.8x
