How this is calculated: We use a Growth Decay Model: starting with analyst consensus growth (adjusted above) and gradually slowing it down to a long-term terminal rate (4%) by Year 5. This provides a more realistic valuation than assuming constant hyper-growth. We then apply a 22.0x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: UCTT is currently trading at $74.04, which is considered fair relative to its 30-day fair value range of $70.13 to $85.96. From a valuation perspective, the stock is trading at a discount (Forward PE: 12.6) compared to its historical average (22.0). Remarkably, the market is currently pricing in an annual earnings decline of 16.9% over the next few years. This aligns with recent fundamental challenges.
Technical Outlook: Technically, UCTT is showing sideways momentum. The price is approaching resistance at $76.23. A breakout above this level would be a bullish signal, while rejection here could lead to consolidation. The stock is showing strong short-term momentum, up 4.1% recently.
Market Sentiment: UCTT scores 70/100 on our bottoming-setup gauge — the chart has corrected and is stabilizing (RSI reset, momentum turning up), historically a favorable entry zone. Wall Street analysts see significant upside, with an average price target of $137.00 (+85.0%). The stock is fairly positioned - fine to hold existing positions or accumulate slowly on dips, but not an urgent buy.
