What matters now
- A high-quality business (quality 70/100), yet the market already pays well above fair value. Quality at a full price, with little margin of safety.
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($102.54). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- A fairly wide model range ($40.81 to $102.54) leaves room in how you read the outcome.
Price vs Fair Value (5 years)
White line = price, green steps = our fair value per fiscal year, dashed = 300-day average. As of Sep 3, 2026.
How to read this chart
60‑month range $98.29 – $173.03 · fair‑value band $40.81 – $102.54 · the $149.98 price screens above the $61.53 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). 3 fiscal years are left out: there the valuation rested on only a fraction of the usual models. Dashed = 300-day average. As of Sep 3, 2026.
Analysis
Agilent Technologies Inc (A) currently trades at $149.98, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $61.53, implying the stock looks roughly 143.7% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 70/100 (solid quality), in the Healthcare sector. Bull case: the Growth Earnings group reads highest at a median of $78.87 per share, and 0 of the 24 models we run sit above the $149.98 price. Bear case: the Dividend Discount group reads lowest at $12.95, and 24 of the 24 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is high.
Over the trailing twelve months, Agilent Technologies Inc generated revenue of $7.2B at a net margin of 19.6%. Revenue grew 10.0% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 21.3%. Net debt stands at $1.6B. Fundamentals as of Sep 3, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $40.81 (bear case) to $102.54 (bull case); at $149.98, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 6% below its 52-week high and 38% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Healthcare peers we cover trades at −52% fair-value upside, at −59%, A screens richer than that median.
Fair Value models
This estimate rests on fiscal year 2025 figures, and about 10 months have passed since. In that time the company retained roughly $3.22 per share, which is 5.2 % of the fair value. The fair value deliberately does not add this in: the models value reported figures, not a projection.
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted, family-balanced blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.
All 24 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth Earnings ($78.87) versus Dividend Discount ($12.95). Highest evidence: FCF DCF (80).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 69 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 60
Non-valuation factor families (profitability, growth, cashflow, financial strength, momentum …), each academically grounded. Valuation itself sits in the Fair Value and is deliberately excluded here to avoid double-counting.
All values are scores from 0 to 100 (100 = best against fixed, research-based bands), not percentages. The three market factors (momentum, 52-week proximity, low volatility) are displayed but carry zero weight in the headline number: market sentiment is not a business property.
