Analysis

Cencora, Inc (COR) currently trades at $325.01, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $175.74, implying the stock looks roughly 45.9% overvalued today. We read business quality at 57/100 (solid 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: high).

Over the trailing twelve months, Cencora, Inc generated revenue of $329B at a net margin of 0.8%. Revenue grew 3.8% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 107.1%. Net debt stands at $6.4B. Fundamentals as of Jul 11, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $131.80 (bear case) to $219.67 (bull case); at $325.01, 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 14% below its 52-week high and 33% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Healthcare peers we cover trades at 44% fair-value upside, at -46%, COR screens richer 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.
