Understanding the GF Value

The GF Value is a proprietary measure that provides an estimation of a stock's intrinsic value. This measure takes into account historical trading multiples, a GuruFocus adjustment factor based on past returns and growth, and future business performance estimates. The GF Value Line gives an overview of the fair value at which the stock should ideally be traded. If the stock price is significantly above the GF Value Line, it is overvalued, and its future return is likely to be poor. Conversely, if it is significantly below the GF Value Line, its future return will likely be higher.

Revvity's current stock price of $108.73 per share suggests that it is fairly valued according to the GF Value Line. Since Revvity is fairly valued, the long-term return of its stock is likely to be close to the rate of its business growth.

Profitability and Growth

Investing in profitable companies carries less risk, especially in companies that have demonstrated consistent profitability over the long term. A company with high profit margins offers better performance potential than a company with low profit margins. Revvity has been profitable 10 years over the past 10 years. During the past 12 months, the company had revenues of $2.80 billion and Earnings Per Share (EPS) of $6.54. Its operating margin of 13.66% is better than 74.11% of 224 companies in the Medical Diagnostics & Research industry. Overall, GuruFocus ranks Revvity's profitability as strong.

Growth is probably the most important factor in the valuation of a company. A faster-growing company creates more value for shareholders, especially if the growth is profitable. The 3-year average annual revenue growth of Revvity is 0.4%, which ranks worse than 73.53% of 204 companies in the Medical Diagnostics & Research industry. The 3-year average EBITDA growth rate is 26.5%, which ranks better than 70.21% of 188 companies in the Medical Diagnostics & Research industry.

Another method of determining the profitability of a company is to compare its return on invested capital to the weighted average cost of capital. Return on invested capital (ROIC) measures how well a company generates cash flow relative to the capital it has invested in its business. The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is the rate that a company is expected to pay on average to all its security holders to finance its assets. When the ROIC is higher than the WACC, it implies the company is creating value for shareholders. For the past 12 months, Revvity's return on invested capital is 2.47, and its cost of capital is 7.36.
