Is UTSI undervalued? Our fair value estimate
UTStarcom Holdings Corp. · Technology · NMS
How we got here
The estimate is computed from UTSI's reported fundamentals, with a growth assumption that is deliberately capped: small changes to an uncapped growth or terminal assumption can justify any price, and a number that can justify anything means nothing. These are the inputs the model holds for UTSI today; the exact method, and where it goes wrong, is on the methodology page.
The trailing growth rate informs the growth assumption, which the model caps deliberately: uncapped growth assumptions can justify any price.
Margins tell the model how much of each unit of revenue survives as profit, and how much room there is for that to erode.
Persistent high returns on capital are what a moat looks like in the accounts, and they feed the moat score alongside the valuation.
Leverage haircuts the estimate: debt claims cash before shareholders do, and it turns bad years into dangerous ones.
