Veralto · industrial
Regulated razor-and-blade compounder; wonderful business, but price already demands ~8% growth, so fair at best.
Wonderful businesses at a margin of safety
Sturdy, under-loved consumables franchise priced for decline; modest growth plus normalizing cash flow beats a -11% bar.
Solventum, spun out of 3M in April 2024, sells hospital and clinical consumables: advanced wound care (V.A.C. negative-pressure therapy, Tegaderm dressings), infection prevention and sterilization, IV site management, Littmann stethoscopes, and dental restoratives and orthodontics. It also sells Health Information Systems software for clinical coding and revenue-cycle work, used by thousands of US hospitals. Most of its revenue is recurring, high-volume consumables bought through GPO contracts and clinician preference, plus software subscriptions. It sold its Purification & Filtration unit to Thermo Fisher to pay down spin debt.
