GE HealthCare

Methodology

GE HealthCare's medical imaging and diagnostics equipment generates relatively stable earnings from a mix of equipment sales and recurring service contracts. The company's leading positions in MRI, CT, and ultrasound provide diversified revenue streams. This calculation works reasonably well, though hospital capital spending cycles and healthcare policy changes create moderate earnings volatility.

Methodology

GE HealthCare typically shows moderate PEG ratios reflecting steady but unspectacular growth in medical imaging markets. The company's scale advantages and installed base support consistent execution, but limited pricing power and competitive intensity constrain margins. Compare to other medical device companies to assess whether GE HealthCare's diversified imaging portfolio justifies its current valuation.

Methodology

GE HealthCare pays a modest dividend as a newly independent company spun from GE. Management is establishing capital allocation priorities balancing dividends, R&D investments, and potential tuck-in acquisitions. Total return will depend on the company's ability to accelerate growth through digital health initiatives and precision care solutions beyond core imaging equipment.
