Using an unlevered Free Cash Flow to Firm (FCFF) model, we project Universal Logistics Holdings, Inc.'s cash flows over 5 years with line-by-line expense modeling. Revenue is projected revenue growing from 1.8% to -2.9% annually, with expenses (COGS, SG&A, R&D) held at historical ratios. Depreciation is computed from a vintage matrix based on a 5-year useful life. Working capital is modeled using historical turnover days (DSO 72, DPO 19, DIO 3). At a 6.1% WACC with mid-year discounting, the terminal value (82% of enterprise value) is derived from the Gordon Growth Model on Year 6 FCFF at a 2.5% perpetual rate. After subtracting net debt, the equity value implies a fair price of $108.88 per share, suggesting ULH is undervalued by 711.4% at the current price of $13.42.
Adjust parameters to explore scenarios. Changes are for exploration only and do not affect saved valuations.
