Absolute figures with year-over-year change. Margins show the level with the change in percentage points (pp). “n/m” = not meaningful (prior ≤ 0); ⚠ marks a large percentage off a small base — read the dollar figure.
Working the DCF backward: holding the assumptions below, this is the free-cash-flow growth today's price implies over the next 10 years. It is a read on the price's embedded expectations — not a fair-value or target price.
The price implies FCF growth below the analyst consensus of 3.4%/yr (revenue basis).
Base free cash flow $2.1B (avg FY2023–FY2025; latest year $1.9B) · equity value $21.9B · levered FCF discounted at the cost of equity. Reverse DCF is illustrative, not advice.
Net insider -$810K over 180 days (0 open-market buys, 1 sells). Insider buying is the informative signal; routine selling is normal.
Short interest, days-to-cover, and institutional-ownership change require a data-plan upgrade (not yet available).
Forward-return IC, quintile spread & hit rate publish on /performance as the tracking panel accrues enough no-look-ahead history.
Fewer than 3 analysts refreshed a price target in the last month, so no revision can be computed. Prior quarter: $21 avg across 5 analysts.

The QScore of 52 for Viatris Inc. suggests a neutral outlook, driven by a divergence between its long-term and short-term prospects. The stock scores high on momentum, exhibiting strong momentum with an 85.4% return over the past year, but is dragged down by its growth category, which is hindered by negative revenue and EPS growth. The stock's value score is also relatively low, with a P/E of -52.9 and EV/EBITDA of 12.7, indicating a mixed picture. The short-term score is 8 points higher than the long-term score, suggesting some near-term strength.
