Analysis

bioMérieux S.A (BIM) currently trades at €72.50, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is €74.14, implying the stock looks roughly 2.3% fairly valued today. We read business quality at 57/100 (solid quality), in the Healthcare sector. Bull case: trading below our estimate, it may offer upside if the fundamentals hold. Bear case: a low price can be a value trap when quality is weak or the data is thin (evidence: high), always confirm before acting.

Over the trailing twelve months, bioMérieux S.A generated revenue of €4.1B at a net margin of 9.8%. Revenue declined 2.5% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 9.5%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of €108M. Fundamentals as of Jul 14, 2026

Our scenario range runs from €50.86 (bear case) to €92.67 (bull case); at €72.50, the current price sits within 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 43% below its 52-week high and 7% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Healthcare peers we cover trades at -48% fair-value upside, at 2%, BIM 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.
