Model-generatedGenerated by the Bull Rankings model from this company's reported fundamentals, and checked against the figures shown above.

Why now
Medical Care Facilities · market cap $11.1b. Down 30% from 52-week high of $247.49 — deep drawdown territory. PEG 0.55 — paying under fair value for the growth rate. 7 sell-side analysts rate this a Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $218.43 (implying +26% upside).
Moat
FCF converts 136% of net income — earnings translate cleanly into cash, a sign that working capital and capex are well-disciplined.
Risk
ROE -154% 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 $218.43 (7-analyst consensus) — multiple re-rating thesis requires a catalyst. 5 yr $275.76 at ~10% CAGR — dividend + buyback compounding. 10 yr $353.66 if the moat survives secular pressure.

Analyst estimate revisions

30-day change-1.2%
90-day change-1.0%
Forward EPS estimate$17.02

Over the last 90 days, what analysts expect DVA to earn is essentially unchanged. The estimate is derived from price and forward P/E captured at the same instant, so a moving share price does not move this number — only a changed forecast does.

A rising estimate means expectations are improving, not that the price has failed to keep up — and estimates get cut as readily as they get raised. It is not part of the Bull Rankings score. Biggest movers across the market →

DaVita Inc. (DVA): score, valuation & FAQ

DaVita Inc. (DVA) is a Medical Care Facilities company that scores 68.9 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 P/E (A-) and PEG (A-). On valuation, DVA sits about 67% below our discounted-cash-flow fair value (a margin of safety) — the current price implies roughly -17% annual free-cash-flow growth over the next decade.

Is DVA a good stock to buy?

Bull Rankings scores DVA 68.9 out of 100 on its quality-growth model, which is a solid, above-average reading. That is driven by P/E (A-) and PEG (A-). A score is a quantitative screen of DaVita 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 DVA score 68.9 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). DVA earns its highest marks on P/E (A-) and PEG (A-). Each pillar is graded against sector-aware thresholds, then combined into the single 0–100 score.

Is DVA overvalued or undervalued?

Based on $173.82, DVA sits about 67% below our discounted-cash-flow fair value (a margin of safety) — the current price implies roughly -17% annual free-cash-flow growth over the next decade. It trades at a 14.7x P/E (graded A-). 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 DVA?

ROE -154% 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.
