CBIZ, Inc. (CBZ): score, valuation & FAQ
CBIZ, Inc. (CBZ) is a Specialty Business Services company that scores 65.2 out of 100 on the Bull Rankings quality-growth model — a solid, above-average reading. The score blends three pillars — quality (durable returns, healthy margins, low leverage), growth (revenue and earnings), and value (valuation versus sector peers) — into one number, refreshed daily; it is a screen, not a buy recommendation.
Its strongest graded signals are Rev (A). On valuation, CBZ sits about 55% below our discounted-cash-flow fair value (a margin of safety) — the current price implies free cash flow shrinking about 5% next year, then recovering toward 4% a year by year ten.
Is CBZ a good stock to buy?
Bull Rankings scores CBZ 65.2 out of 100 on its quality-growth model, which is a solid, above-average reading. That is driven by Rev (A). A score is a quantitative screen of CBIZ, Inc.'s fundamentals, not personalised financial advice — weigh it against your own time horizon and risk tolerance, and read the risk factors below before acting.
Why does CBZ score 65.2 on Bull Rankings?
The score leans on growth at 87.0 out of 100, with quality the weakest pillar at 44.5 — the three combine geometrically, so a weak one cannot be papered over by a strong one. CBZ earns its highest marks on Rev (A). Each signal is graded against sector-aware thresholds rather than one absolute bar, so CBZ is measured against Specialty Business Services peers, not against the market as a whole.
Is CBZ overvalued or undervalued?
Based on $54.82, CBZ sits about 55% below our discounted-cash-flow fair value (a margin of safety) — the current price implies free cash flow shrinking about 5% next year, then recovering toward 4% a year by year ten. It trades at a 26.4x P/E (graded B). Discounted-cash-flow estimates are sensitive to growth and discount-rate assumptions, so treat this as a cross-check, not a price target.
What are the main risks of investing in CBZ?
Trading within 3% of the 52-week high — limited technical margin of safety; a momentum reversal would test conviction. Net margin 4.4% is thin — operating leverage cuts both ways; input-cost inflation or pricing pressure hits the bottom line first. ROE 6% is below the long-run sustainable threshold of ~10% — capital efficiency would need to improve for the equity base to compound at the market rate.
