Most Popular Narrative: 3.1% Overvalued

Revvity last closed at $124.84 compared with a narrative fair value of $121.07, which frames a modest premium before digging into the growth story behind it.

Ongoing shift in product mix toward higher-margin, software-enabled and consumables-driven offerings (e.g., SaaS Signals, reagents, new IDS i20 platform), along with structural cost actions, are expected to materially expand operating and net margins, with 2026 set to start at a higher 28% operating margin baseline.
