DEMANDING

50

out of 100

Henry Schein Inc earns a fundamental-quality score of 50 out of 100, profiling it as a company with demanding fundamentals. Its score rests mainly on its profitability (net margin 3%). Its weakest area is its growth (revenue +5.5%/yr). Whether it's cheap or expensive depends on the current price, which you can compute in the tool.

What the company does

Henry Schein is the world's largest dental-supplies distributor: the provider stocking dentists' offices with gloves, implants, equipment and practice software, plus a medical arm for outpatient practices. Dentistry's indispensable middleman.

What will shape its future

  • Dental visits, its steady, somewhat cyclical underlying demand.
  • Own products and software, the margin pure distribution doesn't give.
  • Price competition and manufacturers' direct sales, its permanent erosion.
