Business Description
Universal Logistics Holdings, Inc. (ULH) is a diversified company specializing in a comprehensive range of transportation and supply chain management solutions. Its operations extend across the United States, Mexico, Canada, and into Colombia. ULH's core services include a variety of full truckload options, such as standard dry van, flatbed, specialized heavy-haul, and temperature-controlled (refrigerated) transport. Beyond traditional trucking, the company also manages both domestic and international freight forwarding, provides customs brokerage, and delivers time-sensitive services like ground expedite and last-mile delivery. The firm is adept at moving a broad spectrum of commodities, including automotive components, industrial machinery, construction materials, paper products, foodstuffs, consumer retail items, furnishings, and various types of steel and metals. To meet specific client demands, ULH also furnishes a suite of supplementary services. These value-added offerings range from material handling, freight consolidation, and sequencing to light assembly (sub-assembly), cross-docking, custom kitting, repacking, warehousing solutions, and the management of returnable containers. Furthermore, it supports intermodal operations through drayage and the localized transport of shipping containers between maritime ports or rail terminals and their final customer destinations. Its client base spans critical sectors such as the automotive, steel, oil and gas, alternative energy, and manufacturing industries, along with other transportation enterprises that consolidate shipments from multiple sources. Established in 1932 and headquartered in Warren, Michigan, the company was previously known as Universal Truckload Services, Inc. before adopting its current name, Universal Logistics Holdings, Inc., in April 2016.

Float

Free Float
25.4%
Low free float
— 25.4% of shares trade freely, ~74.6% held by insiders/institutions
Below average liquidity. Large orders can move the price significantly. Insiders or strategic holders control the majority — watch for lockup expirations or secondary offerings.
Small absolute float (6.7M shares) — even with a decent free float %, volume can be thin. Check average daily volume before sizing a position.
Price History (1 Year)
Revenue & Net Income Trend
The directional story — useful even when net income is negative.
Revenue
The top line — total sales before any costs or taxes are subtracted. A measure of how much business the company is doing.
Net Income
The bottom line — profit left after subtracting all expenses, interest, and taxes from revenue. Reflects accounting profitability, but includes non-cash items like depreciation, so it isn't the same as cash earned.
Operating Cash Flow
The real cash generated by the day-to-day business — selling products, paying suppliers, collecting from customers. Calculated from net income by adding back non-cash items and adjusting for timing (unpaid bills, unsold inventory). When OCF consistently lags net income, the reported profit may not be converting to real money.
