    Excellent Return on Equity over the past 5 years

    Good Business Performance over the past 10 years

    It's likely UFPT has been unable to maintain profitability in tough economic times, making it a somewhat cyclical business. The other possibility is UFPT has expended significant capital on items such as property, plant and equipment in specific years. Look for correlations.

    UFPT has created positive free cash flow for 7 or 8 of the past 10 years.
