The company now

Universal Technical Institute reported third-quarter revenue of $218.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, up 7.2 percent 1. Net income was $2.3 million, down from $10.7 million a year earlier, which the company ties to strategic growth expenses such as new campuses and program launches 1.

New student starts, the students who begin a program in the period, rose 10.9 percent to 6,342 1. The company lowered its fiscal 2026 revenue guidance to a range of $893 million to $900 million from $905 million to $915 million, citing a more measured fourth-quarter expectation 1.

The open question is fourth-quarter enrollment from high schools in the automotive and diesel programs, which the company says is tracking below plan 1.
