B. Riley lowered the firm's price target on Universal Electronics to $3.50 from $5 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares. Universal Electronics reported Q3 results showing a sales shortfall, with Q4 guidance indicating a faster decline, including potential negative year-over-year performance in the HVAC/HASH segment, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Despite expansion opportunities in multifamily residential and security, overall guidance reflects ongoing pressure from the reaccelerating secular decline in the home entertainment business and softer average selling price trends in HVAC/HASH, B. Riley says.

Reason
B. Riley analyst Jeff Van Sinderen downgraded Universal Electronics to Neutral from Buy with a price target of $5, down from $14, post the Q2 report. Although the company's secular decline rate in legacy home entertainment appeared to be moderating, its back half of 2025 guidance reflects considerable deterioration, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm no longer expects growth for fiscal 2025.

Rosenblatt downgraded Universal Electronics to Neutral from Buy with an $8 price target. The firm says the company's Home Control Business is not growing fast enough to offset pressure in its Latin American subscription broadcast business. Universal's revenue is likely to be down on a year-over-year basis for the next two or three quarters, the analyst tells investors in a research note.
