Winston Score History

The full picture

UFP Technologies makes custom-designed packaging and components used mainly in the medical industry. Its core products include sterile packaging, surgical drapes, wound care components, and other single-use medical items made from foam, film, and fiber materials. The company sells primarily to medical device makers and healthcare companies, and it has shifted heavily toward healthcare over the past decade, with medical now making up the large majority of its revenue.

UFP Technologies earns money by manufacturing and selling these custom components directly to its customers, who rely on UFP to design and produce specialized parts that meet strict medical regulations. The company operates mostly in the United States, with around $400 million in annual revenue. Its competitive edge comes from deep customer relationships and the high cost of switching suppliers when products must meet FDA and sterility standards. The main growth driver is rising demand for single-use medical devices, though the company faces risk from customer concentration and potential pricing pressure from large healthcare buyers.

Growth + cash flow

UFP Technologies is a rare growth stock that's already generating positive cash flow while growing at 15%. The Winston Score doesn't fully credit this transition from "burner" to "earner."

The Winston Score above measures business quality today. Growth stocks often score lower because they invest in the future rather than maximising current profits. These metrics show what matters most for evaluating that future.
