Analysis

Middle-of-the-road

Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. is a middle-of-the-road business: neither the economics nor the price stand out from the peer group.

The price is expensive. You pay 42.8× its owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year, which is in the historically expensive zone.

The trajectory is tepid and the balance sheet is sturdy. The company scores 10/20 on our value-creation score: creating some value.

Nothing is flagged here: no red or amber gates, no divergence between profits and cash. That is itself information: the numbers are straightforward. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
