Ubiquiti
Ubiquiti's revenue rose 27.2% to $3.3 billion in fiscal 2026. Its operating margin was 36.2%, up from 32.5% a year earlier. Free cash flow was $909 million, up 44.9%. It paid out $194 million in dividends and buybacks, 21% of free cash flow.
Operating margin is operating income as a share of revenue. Free cash flow is cash from operations minus capital spending. Return on capital is after-tax operating income as a share of the money invested in the business: debt plus equity, minus cash. Market cap is the last closing share price times the latest diluted share count, so it is approximate. P/E is the last close divided by diluted earnings per share over the last four quarters, or the latest fiscal year where the quarters aren't available; there is none when the company made a loss.
What Ubiquiti does
Ubiquiti designs and sells networking equipment and the software that runs it. Its products include wireless links for internet providers, switches, Wi-Fi equipment, cameras and access-control devices for businesses, service providers and smart homes. Its UISP and UniFi OS software platforms manage this gear. Founder Robert Pera is its chairman and chief executive.
It reports one segment. It sells through over 100 distributors, online retailers and its own web stores, and has no traditional direct sales force. Instead it relies on online reviews and its user community. Its devices are used in over 200 countries and territories. Revenue was $3.3 billion in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, up from $2.6 billion the year before.
Ubiquiti names Cisco, Fortinet, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and Ruckus among its rivals in enterprise Wi-Fi and switching, and Axis, Hikvision, Hanwha Vision and Verkada in video surveillance. At June 30, 2026, it employed or contracted with 1,818 full-time equivalent people, most of them in research and development.
Its biggest risks, as it describes them
- Limited visibility into future sales because it relies on distributors, and on a small number of them.
- Relying on a few contract manufacturers and suppliers for its products and parts.
- Competitors with longer histories, bigger brands and larger customer bases.
- Keeping its products up to date with technology, and defects or security flaws in complex products.
- Its dependence on its founder and chief executive, and on the strength of its brand.

Valuation
Two ways to value Ubiquiti yourself, both starting from its filings: a discounted cash flow model and the price-to-earnings method.
Discounted cash flow (DCF)
A discounted cash flow (DCF) model values a business as the cash it may generate in future, discounted back to today. The starting figures come from Ubiquiti's 10-K and the assumptions are yours: start from one of three example scenarios, then change any figure to see what it implies for a share, and how that compares with the last share price.
Value per share on three example scenarios, from Ubiquiti's fiscal 2026 free cash flow of $909M, net cash of $611M at June 30, 2026 and 61 million diluted shares, from its filings. The scenarios are fitted to Ubiquiti: the base scenario's growth in years 1 to 5 is its revenue growth over the last 3 years, 19.1% a year; the cautious and optimistic ones are lower and higher, and growth in years 6 to 10 is halfway to the long-run rate. The base scenario's discount rate is 10%: 9% for a business of moderate risk (Communications Equipment), plus 1 point for unsteady results (revenue fell in two of the last five years); the cautious and optimistic ones use a point more and a point less. Select one to load it into the calculator. These are the model's arithmetic on those assumptions, not a forecast or a price target.

How the value changes with two assumptions
Price-to-earnings (P/E) method
Another common way to value a company is to multiply its earnings per share by a price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple: the number of years of today's earnings an investor pays for a share. A higher multiple usually means investors expect earnings to grow. Choose a multiple, for example from similar companies, to see the value it gives.
Value per share on three example scenarios, from Ubiquiti's earnings per share of $15.85 (in fiscal 2026). Each grows earnings for a year at the cash flow scenarios' rates and applies a multiple to next year's earnings: 36.9×, the middle of Ubiquiti's own P/E today, its peers' median and its sector's median (Ubiquiti's own P/E today) for the base scenario, 20% less and more for the cautious and optimistic ones. The price is brought back a year at 11%, 10% and 9%. Select one to load it into the calculator. These are the model's arithmetic on those assumptions, not a forecast or a price target.

Piotroski F-score
The F-score counts how many of nine simple tests of profitability, funding and efficiency a company passed in a year (Piotroski, 2000). The more tests passed, the stronger the year: 8 or 9 is strong, 0 to 2 weak. Companies that report no gross profit are scored on the other eight.
