Investment view

Year-to-date profit has improved, but price has outpaced earnings.

Target and reference price

Target for 2027-09-11: $178.73 USD, -70.7% versus the $609.82 weekly close on 2026-09-11. Price return only; dividends, fees and tax excluded.

Price and earnings

Over 1 year (2025-09-12 to 2026-09-11), price changed +27.2% and trailing EPS changed +8.9%. A wider gap changes the earnings multiple; it does not establish fair value.

Supporting evidence

Across 2 completed quarters since 2025-12-31, net income was 3,387.0m versus 3,124.0m in the matching prior-year periods (USD). Check whether the latest quarter changes that direction.

Over one year, the stock changed +27.2% against +19.7% for Healthcare (XLV). The gap is +7.5 percentage points. These are price returns, before dividends.

Risks to the case

Over 1 year (2025-09-12 to 2026-09-11), price changed +27.2% and trailing EPS changed +8.9%. A wider gap changes the earnings multiple; it does not establish fair value.

What to monitor

The latest quarterly margin changed +0.5 percentage points from a year earlier. Check sales volumes, pricing and unusual gains in the next filing.

Recheck the valuation gap alongside profitability and growth after new results. A discount alone does not establish value.

Compare the stock and the market fund over the same dates. Look for a change in relative performance as results arrive.

Valuation assumptions

Starting annual sales growth: 6.69%.

Long-term operating margin: 17.48%.
