Why Is UFP Technologies Not Exciting?

We're cautious about UFP Technologies. Here is one reason you should be careful with UFPT and a stock we'd rather own.

Fewer Distribution Channels Limit its Ceiling

Larger companies benefit from economies of scale, where fixed costs like infrastructure, technology, and administration are spread over a higher volume of goods or services, reducing the cost per unit. Scale can also lead to bargaining power with suppliers, greater brand recognition, and more investment firepower. A virtuous cycle can ensue if a scaled company plays its cards right.

With just $602.8 million in revenue over the past 12 months, UFP Technologies is a small company in an industry where scale matters. This makes it difficult to build trust with customers because healthcare is heavily regulated, complex, and resource-intensive.

Final Judgment

UFP Technologies isn’t a terrible business, but it isn’t one of our picks. With its shares trailing the market in recent months, the stock trades at 20.3× forward P/E (or $203.99 per share). This valuation is reasonable, but the company’s shakier fundamentals present too much downside risk. We're pretty confident there are superior stocks to buy right now. We’d recommend looking at the Amazon and PayPal of Latin America.
