Executive Summary
Universal Technical Institute, Inc. trades at $21.13, with its moving averages tangled rather than clearly stacked — a neutral trend structure. Across the trailing 30 sessions it lost 44.3%. With RSI at 25.0 the momentum picture is oversold, alongside a bullish MACD signal. Recent trading has carved out support near $20.74 and resistance around $43.61.
Multiples put this in fair territory at a P/E of 35.2. The average analyst target implies 98.0% above today's level. Revenue is growing at 7.2% on a 3.9% profit margin.
The composite risk read is 9/10, putting it in high territory. With 30-day volatility of 131.6%, a beta of 0.87 and a maximum drawdown of 58.7%, position sizing matters more than entry timing here. The wider market backdrop reads extreme greed at 93 on the fear-greed composite.
Short, medium and long-term reads agree on hold, with conviction of 2/10.
