Valuation28/ 100
Cash flow & growth65/ 100
Upside potential29/ 100
Risk potential24/ 100

DGX's valuation is somewhat elevated, fundamentals are below averages and forward estimates point to improving growth and profitability.

Score change since last week

The score fell 8 points, mainly due to valuation and price changes. Price fell 2.3%, from $242.76 to $237.14.

Valuation and price changes subtracted 8.1 points. The comparison uses the same available inputs on both dates. Displayed changes are rounded to whole points.

Valuation

Historical cheapness: current PE is 24.9× versus the full-history median of 17.6× shown in the valuation table, producing 27.9/100. Positive weekly observations receive equal weight; lower past EPS alone does not disqualify them.

Outlook-adjusted valuation: 28.4/100. The model applies a 11.3% earnings-growth assumption and a 10% annual return hurdle, with positive credit limited by evidence coverage and confidence.

Forward price scenarios use recent PE history separately. Recent history has a separately weighted median of 20.6× (18-month half-life). The favorable scenario uses 22.8× PE and $11.3 projected EPS, informed by growth, margins and earnings-quality checks. This is a model scenario, not an analyst target. A return to the full-history median is not assumed.

Cash flow & growth

Business trends are mixed. Over the past year: revenue +9.9%, earnings +12.8%, operating margin +0.1 percentage points. Free cash flow is 10.6% of revenue. The business score is 64.7/100. Growth, margins and cash generation drive the score. Missing or older data receives less weight.

Favorable scenario

The earnings calculation and the displayed scenario are different.

The earnings case uses $11.26 of EPS and a 22.8× PE, suggesting about $257.07 before the minimum is applied. Valuation history and outlook inform the PE.

The model applies a 15% minimum upside scenario, so the card shows +15%, or about $270.27. That adjusted price does not come from the EPS × PE calculation above.

This is a scenario based on our model, not a forecast or probability.

Downside scenario

Weaker than expected earnings could put pressure on the share price.

Our downside case uses $8.11 of EPS and a 21.9× PE, suggesting a share price of about $177.87 — 24% below today’s price. Valuation history and outlook inform the PE.

This is a scenario based on our model, not a forecast or probability.

Cash flow & growth55/ 100
Upside potential38/ 100
Risk potential39/ 100

NVO's valuation appears fair, fundamentals are somewhat mixed and expected margin pressure limits the outlook, though analyst coverage is limited.

Score change since last week

The score rose 11 points, mainly due to valuation and price changes. Price rose 2.2%, from $45.61 to $46.60.

Valuation and price changes added 10.9 points. The comparison uses the same available inputs on both dates. Displayed changes are rounded to whole points.

Valuation

Valuation stays neutral because earnings are difficult to compare across periods. Business trends, outlook and financial risk still contribute to the overall score.

Cash flow & growth

Business trends are mixed. Over the past year: revenue +5.6%, earnings +5%, operating margin -2.6 percentage points. Free cash flow is 14.9% of revenue. The business score is 55.4/100. Growth, margins and cash generation drive the score. Missing or older data receives less weight.

Favorable scenario

Weaker business results limit upside support. Price history provides the reference because earnings are difficult to compare.

The calculation starts with the stock’s typical weekly price movements, adjusted for business performance and outlook. Unusually large jumps have less influence. The result is 24% upside, or about $53.41.

This is a scenario based on our model, not a forecast or probability.

Downside scenario

Historical price swings are the main risk driver, even without a sharp profit decline.

The stock’s historical price swings drive this figure; the separate operating stress is 28.7%. Price history and operating stress provide the reference because comparable earnings do not support a future PE target. Operating stress reflects revenue, earnings, margins, outlook and relevant debt exposure. The larger stress gives 38.5% downside, or about $26.49, with a 15% minimum.

This is a scenario based on our model, not a forecast or probability.
