π― latest | Rev $13.6B | EPS $6.63 vs $6.96 π΄
π‘ Consensus sees slowing growth and margin pressure, pricing the stock at a ~6.7Γ P/E on depressed EPS. Our variant view is that the miss is transitory (e.g., higher R&D, acquisition costs, supply timing) and that normalized EPS is $8β$9, implying a fair P/E of 12β15Γ, or $96β$135 per share. The market is wrong by overβdiscounting a oneβtime event.
π Reward/risk: 2.5:1
π’ Business Quality: 8/10 - Wide moat from entrenched GLPβ1 franchise, strong pipeline (oral semaglutide, nextβgen obesity), high switching costs, and global scale. Margin risk from competition and patent expirations is real but priced in.
π Valuation: cheap β P/E 6.66 (vs. 5βyear average 18Γ and pharma peer median 14Γ); EV/EBITDA unavailable but likely deeply discounted.
