Over the last 90 days, what analysts expect LIVN 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 →

LivaNova PLC (LIVN): score, valuation & FAQ
LivaNova PLC (LIVN) is a Medical Devices company that scores 69.8 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 (B+), P/E (B+) and PEG (B+). On valuation, LIVN sits about 62% above our discounted-cash-flow fair value — the current price implies roughly 17% annual free-cash-flow growth over the next decade.
Is LIVN a good stock to buy?
Bull Rankings scores LIVN 69.8 out of 100 on its quality-growth model, which is a solid, above-average reading. That is driven by Rev (B+), P/E (B+) and PEG (B+). A score is a quantitative screen of LivaNova 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 LIVN score 69.8 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). LIVN earns its highest marks on Rev (B+), P/E (B+) and PEG (B+). Each pillar is graded against sector-aware thresholds, then combined into the single 0–100 score.
Is LIVN overvalued or undervalued?
Based on $78.74, LIVN sits about 62% above our discounted-cash-flow fair value — the current price implies roughly 17% annual free-cash-flow growth over the next decade. It trades at a 23.2x 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 LIVN?
At a forward P/E of 23.6 the stock trades at a premium to many med‑tech peers, and the model’s weakest pillar—Quality (61)—signals that margin expansion may stall if neuromodulation growth slows. A slowdown in VNS adoption or a price‑pressure cycle in cardiopulmonary equipment would compress the 12.8% margin, and a breach of the 0.27 debt‑to‑equity ceiling would flag balance‑sheet stress. A sustained drop in quarterly revenue growth below 8% would confirm the bear case.
