Is Universal Technical Institute Inc overvalued?

What is the price target of Universal Technical Institute Inc (UTI)?
The 12-month analyst consensus target is $42.50, about 15.6% above the current $36.75. A consensus target is the average of Wall Street's 12-month forecasts, so it works as a sentiment gauge rather than a guarantee, and it resets with every earnings cycle.
What is the intrinsic value of Universal Technical Institute Inc (UTI)?
Our DCF model estimates intrinsic value at $21.60, a -25.7% margin of safety versus today's $36.75. Intrinsic value is what the projected cash flows are worth today. A negative reading means the price is running ahead of that conservative estimate, leaving little downside cushion if growth slows.
