Analysis:

TheStreet Quant Ratings

rates Universal Electronics as a

buy

. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, good cash flow from operations and solid stock price performance. We feel its strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had sub par growth in net income.

Highlights from the ratings report include:

  • The revenue growth came in higher than the industry average of 2.9%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 13.5%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
  • Net operating cash flow has significantly increased by 155.60% to $3.14 million when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, UNIVERSAL ELECTRONICS INC has also modestly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of 152.48%.
  • Compared to its closing price of one year ago, UEIC's share price has jumped by 43.44%, exceeding the performance of the broader market during that same time frame. We feel that the stock's sharp appreciation over the last year has driven it to a price level which is now somewhat expensive compared to the rest of its industry. The other strengths this company shows, however, justify the higher price levels.
  • UNIVERSAL ELECTRONICS INC's earnings per share declined by 40.6% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has suffered a declining pattern of earnings per share over the past year. However, we anticipate this trend reversing over the coming year. During the past fiscal year, UNIVERSAL ELECTRONICS INC reported lower earnings of $1.89 versus $2.02 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($3.38 versus $1.89).
  • The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Household Durables industry. The net income has significantly decreased by 47.6% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from $5.19 million to $2.72 million.
