Executive summary

DaVita provides kidney care services, and is best known for operating a large network of outpatient dialysis centers in the United States and in several other countries. It treats patients with chronic kidney failure and offers related services such as home dialysis and integrated care. Revenue comes mainly from government programs like Medicare and from commercial insurers, so reimbursement rates matter greatly.

Revenue at Davita Inc. was $14.0 billion across the last twelve months. Across three years, sales expanded by 5.5% a year. Operating profit was 15.2% of revenue. It earned a return on invested capital of 18%. Debt after cash comes to 3.6 times EBITDA. There is no dividend. Net debt to EBITDA compares borrowings, less cash, with annual operating earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization.

StocksXray gives Davita Inc. an X-Ray Score of 66 out of 100 (high confidence), ahead of 88% of the S&P 500 stocks in its sector. Its strongest lens is valuation (95) and its weakest is financial health (42).

Our fair value blend is $505.41 (range $474.69 to $538.13). At $187.31 the stock trades 63% below that blend, so the label is "Data under review" with medium model uncertainty. Fair value is a range, not a price target.

How to read this report

Every number comes from SEC filings, end-of-day prices and the StocksXray models described on the methodology page. The X-Ray Score ranks each metric against the company's own sector. Fair value blends three models and carries a typical error of about 40%, so treat it as a range. Analyst ratings, price targets and earnings-call summaries are not part of this report. Educational research, not financial advice; read the disclaimer.
