Vontier Corporation (VNT): score, valuation & FAQ
Vontier Corporation (VNT) is a Scientific & Technical Instruments company that scores 50.1 out of 100 on the Bull Rankings quality-growth model — a middling 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, VNT sits about 14% below our discounted-cash-flow fair value (a margin of safety) — the current price implies free cash flow shrinking about 1% next year, then recovering toward 4% a year by year ten.
Is VNT a good stock to buy?
Bull Rankings scores VNT 50.1 out of 100 on its quality-growth model, which is a middling reading. That is driven by P/E (A-) and PEG (A-). A score is a quantitative screen of Vontier Corporation'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 VNT score 50.1 on Bull Rankings?
The score leans on quality at 76.4 out of 100, with growth the weakest pillar at 38.6 — the three combine geometrically, so a weak one cannot be papered over by a strong one. VNT earns its highest marks on P/E (A-) and PEG (A-). Each signal is graded against sector-aware thresholds rather than one absolute bar, so VNT is measured against Scientific & Technical Instruments peers, not against the market as a whole.
Is VNT overvalued or undervalued?
Based on $32.24, VNT sits about 14% below our discounted-cash-flow fair value (a margin of safety) — the current price implies free cash flow shrinking about 1% next year, then recovering toward 4% a year by year ten. It trades at a 13.3x 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 VNT?
Down 33% from the 52-week high — the market is pricing in something the screen can't see; verify the bear case before sizing up.
