Ubiquiti Networks Inc UI

Management holds this up; Valuation is the soft spot.

The price needs 18.0% growth a year for ten years. The AI thinks 16.0% is achievable, at a 30.0% margin.

Ubiquiti makes high-margin networking gear sold mostly through distributors with almost no R&D or capex spend. It already throws off nearly 28 cents of free cash per dollar of sales. To justify today's $36B market cap it would need to grow revenue ~22% a year for a decade at today's margins. Realistic long-term growth is closer to 16% even with enterprise and AI-edge tailwinds, so the stock is fairly priced rather than a bargain.
