DaVita Inc. provides kidney dialysis services for patients suffering from chronic kidney failure in the United States. Based in Denver, CO, the Large-Cap Health Care company has 70,000 full time employees. DaVita has not offered a regular dividend during the last year.
DaVita has a trailing twelve month P/E ratio of 16.1, compared to an average of 27.61 for the Health Care sector. Considering its EPS guidance of $11.28, the company has a forward P/E ratio of 13.4.
DaVita is overpriced compared to its book value, since its P/B ratio of 20.29 is higher than the sector average of 3.69. The company's shares are currently 246.9% below their Graham number, indicating that its shares have a margin of safety.
If analysts are willing to give the company a bad rating despite its potentially attractive valuation, its likely that they are concered by DaVita's lacking growth potential, as signaled by its 1.3% rate of revenue growth, and capital expenditures that are only growing at -8.3% on average each year.
