With expertise dating back to 1963 in specialized materials and precision manufacturing, UFP Technologies (NASDAQ:UFPT) designs and manufactures custom solutions for medical devices, sterile packaging, and other highly engineered products for healthcare and industrial applications.
A company’s long-term performance is an indicator of its overall quality. Even a bad business can shine for one or two quarters, but a top-tier one grows for years. Over the last five years, UFP Technologies grew its sales at an exceptional 27.5% compounded annual growth rate. Its growth beat the average healthcare company and shows its offerings resonate with customers.
Long-term growth is the most important, but within healthcare, a half-decade historical view may miss new innovations or demand cycles. UFP Technologies’s annualized revenue growth of 23% over the last two years is below its five-year trend, but we still think the results suggest healthy demand. 
This quarter, UFP Technologies reported year-on-year revenue growth of 15.1%, and its $174 million of revenue exceeded Wall Street’s estimates by 9.1%.
Looking ahead, sell-side analysts expect revenue to grow 4.3% over the next 12 months, a deceleration versus the last two years. This projection is underwhelming and indicates its products and services will see some demand headwinds.

We track the long-term change in earnings per share (EPS) for the same reason as long-term revenue growth. Compared to revenue, however, EPS highlights whether a company’s growth is profitable.
UFP Technologies’s EPS grew at 36.7% compounded annual growth rate over the last five years, higher than its 27.5% annualized revenue growth. This tells us the company became more profitable on a per-share basis as it expanded.
Diving into the nuances of UFP Technologies’s earnings can give us a better understanding of its performance. As we mentioned earlier, UFP Technologies’s adjusted operating margin was flat this quarter but expanded by 5 percentage points over the last five years. This was the most relevant factor (aside from the revenue impact) behind its higher earnings; interest expenses and taxes can also affect EPS but don’t tell us as much about a company’s fundamentals.
In Q2, UFP Technologies reported adjusted EPS of $2.92, up from $2.50 in the same quarter last year. This print easily cleared analysts’ estimates, and shareholders should be content with the results. Over the next 12 months, Wall Street expects UFP Technologies’s full-year EPS to grow 5.4% from $10.23 to $10.78.
We were impressed by how significantly UFP Technologies blew past analysts’ revenue expectations this quarter. We were also glad its EPS outperformed Wall Street’s estimates. Zooming out, we think this was a good print with some key areas of upside. The stock traded up 5.3% to $281.50 immediately following the results.
UFP Technologies put up rock-solid earnings, but one quarter doesn’t necessarily make the stock a buy. Let’s see if this is a good investment. What happened in the latest quarter matters, but not as much as longer-term business quality and valuation, when deciding whether to invest in this stock. We cover that in our actionable full research report which you can read here (it’s free).
