Our note on each quarter Veralto files

10-Q filed October 30: Veralto

Veralto's trailing twelve-month revenue to October 2026 reached $5.80bn, a 6.4% rise on the prior year and little changed from the growth rate seen a quarter earlier. Free-cash-flow margin stayed steady at 18.8%. The fundamentals grade improves from C+ to B, yet this has not shifted our valuation much: model value sits at $78.09 a share, well below the $103 market price. Sell remains our rating. At the current price, the market appears to be pricing in cash-flow growth of about 10.4% a year over five years, considerably faster than the 4.3% a year revenue growth the company has actually delivered. That gap between implied expectations and recent performance underpins our caution on the shares.

Earlier notes (1)

Where Veralto stands after its latest 10-Q

Revenue for the twelve months to July 2026 was $5.70bn, up 6.2% on a year earlier, about the same pace as a quarter earlier. Free-cash-flow margin held at 18.4%. Against its peers on growth, profitability, cash generation and balance sheet, it grades C+. It passes 3 of our 5 financial-health checks. Our cash-flow model value is $73.39 a share, against a share price of $102. At that price, our model says the market is pricing in about 11.1% a year of cash-flow growth for five years, faster than the 3.9% a year revenue growth it has delivered.

Valuation

Veralto valuation models and calculator

What the price is pricing in

The share price implies about 11.7% a year of cash-flow growth for five years.That is faster than the 4.3% a year revenue growth Veralto has delivered.

  • Priced in11.7%
  • Last 12 months6.4%
  • 3 years a year5.2%
  • 5 years a year4.3%

Our cash-flow model with every input fixed except growth over the next five years, solved for the growth at which the model value equals the share price ($116.45, Nov 3, 2026). Cash-flow growth then fades to 2.5% a year; discount rate 8.5%. Delivered figures are revenue growth from SEC filings.

How we got here: a discounted-cash-flow model of Veralto's free cash flow after stock-based pay with after-tax interest added back ($1B, FY2026 Q3 TTM), growing 6.2% and 5.8% in the next two years (forecasts, guidance and its record), then back to 5.8% by year five, and fading to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5%. Lower and higher growth cases span ~$61–~$110 ; that spread sets a 25% margin before we rate Buy or Sell.

Produced by Fundamentalytics' automated valuation model on November 3, 2026, using delayed market prices. Rating meanings, methodology and conflicts: recommendations disclosure and research disclaimer. General research, not personal advice — it does not consider your circumstances. Prices can fall as well as rise.

Our value per share comes from a discounted-cash-flow model of Veralto's free cash flow after stock-based pay ( $1B, FY2026 Q3 TTM, with after-tax interest added back): growth for five years as below (the first two years from forecasts, guidance and the company's record), fading to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5%, then cash added and debt and other claims subtracted. These are model values under stated assumptions, not price targets or recommendations.

Valuation models

We value Veralto as an operating company, with every model that fits that kind of business. Cost of equity 8.7%: the 10-year Treasury yield (4.9%) plus a beta of 0.84 times a 4.5% equity risk premium.

Value per share by model
Model Value per share In the combined value?
Cash-flow model (DCF) Free cash flow to the firm (after stock pay, with after-tax interest added back), grown then faded to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5% as the firm rate, less debt and other claims. ~$83 ~$61–$110 Primary model, counts double
Forward price-to-earnings vs peers Next year's consensus earnings per share times peers' typical (harmonic-mean) forward price-to-earnings. Uses analysts' consensus estimates (third-party data), not our forecasts. ~$110 ~$110–$140 Included
Residual income Book value plus the present value of returns above the cost of equity, fading over ten years. — Does not apply: return on equity above 40%: buybacks or intangibles make book value too small an anchor
Justified price-to-book Book value times (return on equity - growth) / (cost of equity - growth): steady-state returns. ~$60 ~$51–$73 Included
Combined value Weighted average of the models that apply: the primary model (cash-flow model (dcf)) counts double. Models more than 5x or less than 0.2x the share price, or more than 3x away from the other models' median, are left out. ~$84 ~$60–$110 3 models

Different models fail in different ways, so where several apply we average them rather than trust one. Peer-based models compare Veralto with Environmental & Facilities Services in our coverage, using third-party market data.

How our valuation uses these forecasts

Our cash-flow model grows Veralto's revenue by +6.2% next year and +5.8% the year after, then fades back toward its own record by year five. Next year's rate weighs analysts' consensus (+6.4%, weight 69%) and the company's own record (+5.8%, weight 31%) . How the weights are set.

Options strategies

All options ideas

How Veralto’s listed options are priced, and three ways to use them that follow from our valuation. Quotes are delayed, read November 2, 2026. Check the live chain at your broker before trading.

Cash-secured put

Not offered: rated Sell.

We suggest selling a put only on well-rated companies, at a strike where the price you would pay if assigned (strike less premium) is at or below our fair value.

Covered call

Not offered: no liquid call at or above our price target — the model says the upside is worth more than any listed strike.

For holders: sell a call at a strike at or above our fair value, so the shares are only sold at a price the model calls full value.

Collar

Not offered: no liquid put and call pair for the same expiry.

For holders of a stock trading at or above our fair value: buy a put for a floor and sell a call to pay for it.

General research, not personal advice. Options can lose you more than you expect and are not suitable for everyone: put sellers can be made to buy shares that keep falling, call sellers give up gains above the strike, and results or news can move prices sharply. Chances shown are approximations from each option’s delta. Spreads, fees and early assignment are not modelled.

Free cash flow is cash from operations minus capital spending. Growth is left blank when last year's figure was a loss or under 2% of revenue. Share counts and EPS are restated for stock splits. A dash means the company didn't report the figure.
