Fair value per share

Under review: every model's value for Bausch Health Companies Inc. is far from the share price, which usually points to a data problem (a merger, a share-count change, a one-off) rather than a bargain or a bubble.

Price vs value

Under review: our cash-flow value ($107.04) was left out of our combined valuation (it is 13.33x the share price, outside the 0.2-5x range we accept), so it can't be the basis of a rating. We'll show the comparison once resolved.

Fundamentalytics rating

model v1.6 · 2026-11-03

Not rated: held for review: our cash-flow value ($107.04) was left out of our combined valuation (it is 13.33x the share price, outside the 0.2-5x range we accept), so it can't be the basis of a rating.

Our value per share comes from a discounted-cash-flow model of Bausch Health Companies Inc.'s free cash flow after stock-based pay ( $2.6B, 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.

The inputs used by the models below have passed source checks. Individual model values are available below and in the interactive valuator. Their differences are shown explicitly; the platform combined value and recommendation remain withheld.

Valuation models

We value Bausch Health Companies Inc. as an operating company, with every model that fits that kind of business. Cost of equity 8.5%: the 10-year Treasury yield (4.9%) plus a beta of 0.8 times a 4.5% equity risk premium.

Moat

35 /100

Weak moat

How hard Bausch Health Companies's competitive advantage looks for rivals to wear away, judged from 10 years of its own filings: returns on capital, pricing power, profit durability, cash conversion and discipline.

  • Returns on capital 0 / 20

    Net income has been a median -2.6% of total assets over 10 years.

  • Durability 1 / 20

    Operating margin has been a median 8.5%; its worst year was -32.4%.

  • Cash conversion 16 / 20

    Free cash flow was positive in 9 of 10 years, at a median 13.4% of revenue.

  • Discipline 15 / 20

    The diluted share count rose 5.6% over five years; stock-based pay has been a median 1.4% of revenue.

AI disruption exposure: Medium. In this industry, AI could change how the product is made or sold, without replacing the core asset. The score above includes a 5-point deduction for that exposure (40 before it).
