Why now
Information Technology Services · market cap $1.6b. Down 49% from 52-week high of $4.77 — deep drawdown territory. PEG 0.18 — paying under fair value for the growth rate.
Moat
Turnaround / out-of-favor name — GAAP-unprofitable for now, so the durability case is forward-looking: it rests on a recovery (margin normalization, a cyclical upturn or restructuring) or an un-monetized asset (IP / network effects / first-mover position) rather than on current reported results.
Risk
Currently unprofitable (margin -5.6%) — path to GAAP profitability is the core thesis risk. Down 49% from the 52-week high — the market is pricing in something the screen can't see; verify the bear case before sizing up. ROE -3% 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.
Horizon
1-3 yr $3.31 (structural (no analyst coverage)) — catalyst-driven; binary events dominate. 5 yr $5.78 — requires the platform / technology to reach commercial scale. 10 yr $14.67 — return distribution heavily skewed.

Clarivate Plc (CLVT): score, valuation & FAQ

Clarivate Plc (CLVT) is a Information Technology Services company that scores 48.8 out of 100 on the Bull Rankings quality-growth model — a below-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 P/S (A) and PEG (A), while Rev (D+) rate weaker. On valuation, CLVT sits about 57% below our discounted-cash-flow fair value (a margin of safety) — the current price implies roughly -19% annual free-cash-flow growth over the next decade.

Is CLVT a good stock to buy?

Bull Rankings scores CLVT 48.8 out of 100 on its quality-growth model, which is a below-average reading. That is driven by P/S (A) and PEG (A). A score is a quantitative screen of Clarivate Plc'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 CLVT score 48.8 on Bull Rankings?

The quality-growth score blends three pillars — quality (returns on capital, margins, leverage, earnings quality), growth (revenue and earnings expansion), and value (valuation versus sector peers). CLVT earns its highest marks on P/S (A) and PEG (A), and is held back by Rev (D+). Each pillar is graded against sector-aware thresholds, then combined into the single 0–100 score.

Is CLVT overvalued or undervalued?

Based on $2.45, CLVT sits about 57% below our discounted-cash-flow fair value (a margin of safety) — the current price implies roughly -19% annual free-cash-flow growth over the next decade. 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 CLVT?

Currently unprofitable (margin -5.6%) — path to GAAP profitability is the core thesis risk. Down 49% from the 52-week high — the market is pricing in something the screen can't see; verify the bear case before sizing up. ROE -3% 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.
