Recent financial performance is holding in the top half of its industry — the reason to own it looks intact.
Recent financial performance is strong, but earnings quality and management's track record are neutral. Risk is moderate, and the sector backdrop presents a headwind, although DVA trades above typical levels compared to sector peers. Peer multiples imply a price about 36% above where it trades (it looks cheap on this basis); the read is cheap, quality intact. This assessment hinges on guidance from DVA and sector trends, particularly the performance of major healthcare companies. This read is provisional.
Daily closes. Earnings/event dots are placed inline.
A consensus fair price across 8 valuation methods, at three horizons. Current price $208.93. Estimates are diagnostics, not price targets. Short-horizon estimates are close to coin-flips, so confidence is a method-agreement read, not a prediction.
No-growth: today's peer multiple on trailing earnings. The headline read.
Embeds projected growth. Leans optimistic by design. Upside context.
We take the 12-month fair value above and grade our own number — how the market prices this name versus what we'd justify, and where the two diverge.
At $210 DVA trades at 18× p/e, below its 19× p/e peer median. Our $297 fair value sits above the price; low confidence. Analysts: $194–$220. Not investment advice.
One valuation read at a 12-month horizon, plus how price compares to peers and the company's own history.
The price implies about 29% below a flat-multiple fair value, below our forecast of about 7%. This describes what's priced in, not a forecast of the move.
