Analysis
Elanco Animal Health Incorporated (ELAN) currently trades at $22.51, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $19.17, implying the stock looks roughly 14.8% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 45/100 (below-average quality), in the Healthcare sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: medium).
Over the trailing twelve months, Elanco Animal Health Incorporated generated revenue of $4.9B at a net margin of -5.0%. Revenue grew 14.9% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -3.8%. Net debt stands at $3.5B. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $12.64 (bear case) to $19.17 (bull case); at $22.51, 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 19% below its 52-week high and 71% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Healthcare peers we cover trades at -49% fair-value upside, at -15%, ELAN screens cheaper than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted 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.
All 12 models by family
