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

Why now
Scientific & Technical Instruments · market cap $52.6b. 18% off the 52-week high of $374.96. 12 sell-side analysts rate this a Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $415.08 (implying +34% upside).
Moat
Net margin 19% beats the market median by a meaningful margin — the company is keeping more of every revenue dollar than the average S&P constituent. ROE 17% sits above Buffett's preferred 15% threshold — the equity base is compounding at a rate the market struggles to discount accurately. FCF converts 129% of net income — earnings translate cleanly into cash, a sign that working capital and capex are well-disciplined.
Risk
Trailing P/E 42x sits well above the S&P median (~20x) — multiple compression is a real risk if revenue growth decelerates.
Horizon
1-3 yr $415.08 (12-analyst consensus) — fundamentals + valuation re-rating. 5 yr $607.72 at ~15% CAGR — compounding case rests on the competitive position widening. 10 yr $901.52 if current growth sustains into durable earnings power.

Over the last 90 days, what analysts expect KEYS to earn is materially higher (+15.1%). 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 →

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).
