Envista NVST
Envista scores average on business quality (4.7 of 10). Here is why, in plain words, and what our sealed record shows.
Why it matters
- What Envista does
Envista Holdings manufactures dental implants, orthodontics, and equipment, selling directly to dental professionals and clinics globally. Leaner operations and improving demand are positioning the company for multi-year growth.
- What it does best
Envista delivers a gross margin of 55.9%, outperforming peer TFX at 53.8%. This edge stems from proprietary dental implant systems that dentists rely on daily.
- The main risk
Weak profitability limits earnings power, leaving net margin at just 3.3% on $2.9B in revenue. Any volume drop quickly compresses already thin earnings.
Quality, check by check
Scored against its own industry, from company filings.
Operating margin rests at 10.6% alongside an FCF margin of 8.7%. Scale brings modest margin expansion.
Clinicians form its primary moat through product familiarity, sitting in the 38th percentile for sector gross margin.
Revenue grew 8.3% to $2.9B, marking an acceleration from prior flat multi-year trends visible in annual history.
Debt-to-equity sits at 0.5 with interest coverage at 8.6x, while free cash flow reached $249M. The balance sheet is holding steady.
Insiders
Executives and directors, from SEC Form 4 filings we read ourselves. Open market trades only; grants, option exercises and pre-planned sales left out.
