What is Bristol-Myers Squibb worth?

On an owner-earnings DCF, Bristol-Myers Squibb's most-likely value is about $112 versus a recent price near $59 (89% below fair value). But TacticScale only calls a stock undervalued when the price sits below its conservative no-growth floor (~$82) with a margin of safety — so the honest verdict here is “Deeply discounted.” Fair value earns its keep only at the extremes, not in the wide middle.

Verdict: Deeply discounted
Owner-earnings fair value · recent price ≈ $59
Fair value (most likely)
$112
Range
$99–$158
No-growth floor
$82
Price
~$59

On the financials alone, $59 is below even the no-growth floor ($82); the market's discount — expectations and sentiment beyond the numbers — is pricing in ≈ -3.4%/yr. A bargain only if that pessimism is overdone.

Analysis, not advice. Fair value is a margin-of-safety estimate from a deterministic owner-earnings DCF, not a price target or recommendation. See the full breakdown →
