What the price assumes: free cash flow shrinking about 22% next year, then recovering toward 4% a year by year ten — vs a starting rate of ~7% our model takes as the middle of three readings — analyst estimates, last year's revenue growth, and the company's own multi-year record.

Why now
Oil & Gas Refining & Marketing · market cap $8.4b. 5% off the 52-week high of $8.28. PEG 0.78 — paying under fair value for the growth rate. 7 sell-side analysts rate this a Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $7.67 (implying -3% upside).
Moat
ROE 20% is above 15% — the equity base is compounding at a rate the market struggles to discount accurately. Free cash flow runs well ahead of reported net income.
Risk
Net margin 2.3% is thin — operating leverage cuts both ways; input-cost inflation or pricing pressure hits the bottom line first. Reserve-replacement treadmill — every barrel or ounce extracted has to be replaced through exploration or acquisition; underspending on replacement reserves shows up in production declines 2-3 years out.
Horizon
1-3 yr $7.67 (7-analyst consensus) — multiple re-rating thesis requires a catalyst. 5 yr $9.68 at ~4% CAGR — dividend compounding plus earnings growth. 10 yr $12.41 if the moat survives secular pressure.

Ultrapar Participações S.A. (UGP): score, valuation & FAQ

Ultrapar Participações S.A. (UGP) is an Oil & Gas Refining & Marketing company that scores 52.5 out of 100 on the Bull Rankings quality-growth model — a middling reading. The score blends three pillars — quality (durable returns, healthy margins, low leverage), growth (revenue and earnings), and value (valuation versus sector peers) — into one number, refreshed daily; it is a screen, not a buy recommendation.

Its strongest graded signals are PEG (A-). On valuation, UGP sits about 69% below our discounted-cash-flow fair value (a margin of safety) — the current price implies free cash flow shrinking about 22% next year, then recovering toward 4% a year by year ten.

Is UGP a good stock to buy?

Bull Rankings scores UGP 52.5 out of 100 on its quality-growth model, which is a middling reading. That is driven by PEG (A-). A score is a quantitative screen of Ultrapar Participações S.A.'s fundamentals, not personalised financial advice — weigh it against your own time horizon and risk tolerance, and read the risk factors below before acting.

Why does UGP score 52.5 on Bull Rankings?

The score leans on quality at 75.1 out of 100, with growth the weakest pillar at 50.0 — the three combine geometrically, so a weak one cannot be papered over by a strong one. UGP earns its highest marks on PEG (A-). Each signal is graded against sector-aware thresholds rather than one absolute bar, so UGP is measured against Oil & Gas Refining & Marketing peers, not against the market as a whole.

Is UGP overvalued or undervalued?

Based on $7.90, UGP sits about 69% below our discounted-cash-flow fair value (a margin of safety) — the current price implies free cash flow shrinking about 22% next year, then recovering toward 4% a year by year ten. It trades at a 12.7x P/E (graded B). Discounted-cash-flow estimates are sensitive to growth and discount-rate assumptions, so treat this as a cross-check, not a price target.

What are the main risks of investing in UGP?

Net margin 2.3% is thin — operating leverage cuts both ways; input-cost inflation or pricing pressure hits the bottom line first. Reserve-replacement treadmill — every barrel or ounce extracted has to be replaced through exploration or acquisition; underspending on replacement reserves shows up in production declines 2-3 years out.
