On the stock market since 1929, it operates in electricity, water and gas. It has 9,400 employees. Now — the numbers.
This is an established company with proven profits.
That much dependence is a risk in itself: if this one line weakens, the whole company feels it directly.
No real growth (-1% a year). Red columns mark years that ended in a loss.
The gap is $7.2B. In times of high interest rates, a gap like that can squeeze a company.
We compared this company with its own sector across five subjects.
A score of 50 means class average.
Profit power and business quality lead the class.
A solid grade overall — yet the debt outweighs the cash. The strength here comes from earnings power.
The price looks reasonable next to what the company earns.
There is growth, but not at top-of-the-class tempo.
The stock has been running stronger than the market lately.
No real weak spot in any of the five subjects — a balanced report card.
The stock trades 20% below its peak. The market has trimmed its expectations for the company.
Over the last 12 months, company executives reported 54 buys and 21 sells. Management buying with its own money is usually read as a good sign.
It pays out $1.50 per share each year — regular cash for whoever holds the stock.
Over the last 3 years, sales fell about 10% a year on average. Profit is holding up, but a shrinking business is a risk worth watching.
On our five-subject report card, UGI sits near the top of the class. A high grade doesn’t mean “guaranteed win” — it means “the evidence looks strong for now.”
The takeaway: UGI is an established business that has proven its profits for years. The real debate here isn’t the price — it’s whether the company can keep up this pace.
The total grade weighs these five subjects against the sector — it isn’t a simple average of the five.
