How Does Solventum Stock Stack Up Against Its Peers?
Solventum‘s (SOLV) stock has outperformed over the past year, but how does it truly stack up against peers Omnicell (OMCL) and Veradigm (MDRX) in the evolving healthcare technology landscape as of November 21, 2025? A deeper dive reveals robust operating profitability of 8.02% and a moderate valuation with a PE ratio of 9.48. However, its modest LTM revenue growth of 2.28% and significantly lower free cash flow generation at 0.60% compared to competitors, suggest potential headwinds despite its recent 19% market strength.
- SOLV’s 8.0% operating margin, highest among peers, highlights its strategic focus on high-margin MedSurg/Health IT segments.
- SOLV’s 2.3% revenue growth, lagging OMCL but outpacing MDRX, indicates early stages of its strategic pivot from legacy businesses.
- SOLV’s 19.1% stock gain, outpacing peers, yet with a 9.5 PE, suggests tempered long-term growth expectations despite initial spin-off confidence.
