Rhea AI UVV FY2026 2026-10-03

Universal’s business is moderately asset-light, but FY2026 exposed weaker margins and materially less cash generated from operations.

The important shift is cash conversion: FY2026 operating cash flow was less than half FY2025’s level, and free cash flow likewise contracted sharply. With capex lower at $48.8M, the deterioration points to weaker operating economics rather than a reinvestment spike.

Liabilities fell from $1.49B to $1.31B while long-term debt stayed broadly unchanged, so the balance sheet became less burdened mainly through non-debt obligations rather than debt reduction. The current ratio improved from 2.9x to 3.5x, giving the company more reported short-term asset coverage despite weaker margins.

Revenue was nearly flat, yet gross margin and operating margin both compressed, indicating less profit extracted from each dollar sold rather than a volume-led expansion. Capex fell to $48.8M, but FY2026 free cash flow was only $80.3M, so the cash decline was primarily operational rather than reinvestment-driven.

Financial Health Signals

Financial Health Score 54/100

Scored against operating companies for FY2026. Each of the six dimensions is a percentile rank within that peer group; the overall is their average, with missing dimensions counted as zero out of six. A high score means strong standing among peers, not absolute cross-industry strength. How this score is calculated →

Health score ≠ stock price. This rates the quality of Universal Corporation's business: profitability, growth, balance sheet strength. It doesn't tell you whether the stock is a good buy at today's price. Not financial advice. Use it alongside valuation analysis and your own research.

Profitability

Universal Corporation has an operating margin of 5.8%, meaning the company retains $6 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This strong profitability earns a score of 66/100, reflecting efficient cost management and pricing power. This is down from 8.0% the prior year.

Growth

Universal Corporation's revenue declined 1.3% year-over-year, from $2.9B to $2.9B. This contraction results in a growth score of 41/100.

Leverage

Universal Corporation has elevated debt relative to equity (D/E of 0.44), meaning the company relies heavily on borrowed funds. This high leverage results in a low score of 26/100, reflecting increased financial risk.

Liquidity

With a current ratio of 3.49, Universal Corporation holds $3.49 in current assets for every $1 of short-term obligations. This comfortable liquidity earns a score of 84/100.

Cash Flow

Universal Corporation has a free cash flow margin of 2.8%, earning a moderate score of 37/100. The company generates positive cash flow after capital investments, but with room for improvement.

Returns

Universal Corporation earns a strong 0.0% return on equity (ROE), meaning it generates less than $1 of profit for every $100 of shareholders' equity. This efficient capital use earns a returns score of 70/100. This is unchanged from the prior year.

Altman Z-Score Grey Zone

2.92

Universal Corporation scores 2.92, placing it in the grey zone between 1.81 and 2.99. This signals moderate financial risk that warrants monitoring.

Earnings Quality Cash-Backed

N/A

Universal Corporation reported $33K of net income while generating $129.1M in operating cash flow. The ratio between the two is outside the range this page publishes as a per-dollar figure, so both figures are given instead.

Interest Coverage Adequate

2.28x

Universal Corporation earns $2.28 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($168.5M vs $74.0M). This adequate coverage means the company can meet its interest obligations, but has limited cushion if earnings fall.
