What's The Opportunity In Thermo Fisher Scientific?

According to my valuation model, Thermo Fisher Scientific seems to be fairly priced at around 10% below my intrinsic value, which means if you buy Thermo Fisher Scientific today, you’d be paying a fair price for it. And if you believe that the stock is really worth $665.80, then there’s not much of an upside to gain from mispricing. Furthermore, Thermo Fisher Scientific’s low beta implies that the stock is less volatile than the wider market.

What This Means For You
