Similarly, analysts also expect Uniform ROA to compress to 42% in 2022, accompanied by immaterial Uniform asset growth.
If sustained going forward, these levels would imply a stock price closer to $35, representing 10% equity downside for the firm.
Moreover, the firm’s most recent earnings call suggests management may have concerns about initiatives, demand elasticity, and product quality.
