Manufactures and markets dental implant systems. Provides dental prosthetics and associated treatment software. Now — the numbers.
That much dependence is a risk in itself: if this one line weakens, the whole company feels it directly.
This is an established company with proven profits.
The market pays 88.5× for every dollar this company earns in a year — a price that already assumes things go well.
Against companies in its own sector, it looks cheaper than 71% of them.
Analysts' average target sits 15% above today's price.
We compared this company with its own sector across five subjects.
A score of 50 means class average.
Profit power and business quality lead the class.
A solid grade overall — yet the debt outweighs the cash. The strength here comes from earnings power.
Clearly above the class average — a step short of the very top.
This grade is a blend: the profit side is strong, the sales tempo slow.
The price is looking for direction — no strong breakout, no collapse.
No real weak spot in any of the five subjects — a balanced report card.
The stock trades 50% below its peak. The market has trimmed its expectations for the company.
It met or beat analyst expectations in 8 of the last 8 quarters — consistency is a promise kept.
Over the last 12 months, company executives reported 41 buys and 18 sells. Management buying with its own money is usually read as a good sign.
Over the last 4 years, sales grew only 2% a year on average — the report card’s higher growth grade leans on profit power instead.
The company’s market value is 88 times its annual profit. Even a small disappointment could hit the price hard.
On our five-subject report card, NVST sits near the top of the class. A high grade doesn’t mean “guaranteed win” — it means “the evidence looks strong for now.”
The takeaway: NVST is an established business that has proven its profits for years. The real debate here isn’t the price — it’s whether the company can keep up this pace.
The total grade weighs these five subjects against the sector — it isn’t a simple average of the five.
