Analysis

Quality compounder

Vericel Corporation earns the quality_compounder label: good underlying economics priced fairly, with no obvious bargain or excess.

On valuation, the picture is expensive. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 101.3×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year.

Growth is moderate; the safety picture is adequate. The company scores 14/20 on our value-creation score: strong value creator.
