Okay, look. UFP Technologies (UFPT 1.25%). It’s a company that makes… stuff. Polymer-based medical devices and packaging, specifically. It’s not exactly riveting, is it? But here’s the thing. It’s been a 12-bagger over the last decade. A 12-bagger. And since 1993? 44 times your money. Forty-four! I mean, come on. It’s almost… suspicious. Like, where’s the catch? I’ve seen companies with less impressive gains get dissected on CNBC for a single bad quarter. This one? Crickets. And the market cap is only two billion? Two billion! It’s practically begging to be bought. It’s like leaving a twenty on the sidewalk and being surprised when someone doesn’t pick it up.
How They Keep Getting Away With It
They have 26 of the top 30 medical device companies as customers. Twenty-six! That’s… a lot. And they don’t just make what these companies tell them to make. They pick and choose the projects. They say, “Oh, that idea? No, thank you. But this one? We’ll take that.” It’s like being at a buffet and only taking the good stuff. And then they have exclusive access to these specialty materials and patents. So, the big companies are stuck with them. It’s not innovation, it’s… leverage. And I’m not sure how I feel about that. It feels… wrong. But it’s working. Apparently.
A big chunk of their business – 29% – comes from drapes for Intuitive Surgical’s robots. Surgical drapes! Seriously? They’re making money off of… coverings. And the robot-assisted surgery market is supposed to double by 2029. Of course. Everything’s doubling these days. It’s exhausting. They also make beds, revascularization devices, infection-prevention stuff… the whole shebang. And they buy up smaller companies. Nine acquisitions since 2021. It’s like they’re building a medical device empire, one tiny company at a time. It’s… efficient. Too efficient, maybe.
Here’s the infuriating part. The stock has been flat for the last year. Flat! Sales are up 26%. Twenty-six percent! And they’re trading at 25 times forward earnings. Twenty-five! It should be higher. Much higher. It’s like people aren’t paying attention. Or they’re deliberately ignoring it. It’s a conspiracy, I tell you. A conspiracy to keep a good company undervalued. I’m buying more shares. I’m just… I’m doing it. And if it goes to ten times my money? Don’t expect a thank you. Because honestly, it should have happened already.
