AI Analysis

AI-powered fundamental assessment

Confidence
70%
LIVN presents a stark contrast between poor deterministic health and strong market momentum. The Piotroski F-Score of 2/9 indicates significant fundamental weakness, and the technical trend is currently bearish. However, the company maintains strong gross margins (68.01%) and a low debt-to-equity ratio (0.36), while analysts remain bullish with a target price of $79.64. The valuation appears attractive on a PEG basis (0.72), but the negative net profit margin and ROE suggest operational inefficiencies or significant non-operating losses.

Key Strengths

Strong Gross Margin of 68.01% indicating high product value
Low Debt/Equity ratio (0.36) suggesting a conservative capital structure
Consistent double-digit revenue growth (12.10% YoY)
Attractive PEG ratio of 0.72 suggesting undervaluation relative to growth
Strong analyst consensus with a target price (~$79.64) well above current price

Key Risks

Very weak Piotroski F-Score (2/9) signaling deteriorating fundamental health
Negative Profit Margin (-17.47%) and ROE (-19.24%)
Severe volatility in earnings, including a massive surprise miss in May 2025
Bearish insider sentiment and lack of insider buying
Significant disconnect between operating margin (12.97%) and net profit margin
