Is CRL overvalued?

boothcheck doesn't label CRL overvalued or undervalued, and it doesn't publish a fair value. It shows what the price assumes instead. At today's price, CRL is priced for today's economics sustained for about 7.4 years, and an operating margin near 9.8% versus the 10.7% it earns today. The price is justified by relative-multiple and growth-DCF; asset-based/earnings-power land below the price. The more the price assumes beyond what CHARLES RIVER LABORATORIES INTERNATIONAL, INC. has actually delivered, the more has to go right to justify it. Whether that bar is too high is your call, and the full bull and bear cases are in the report.

Derived from CHARLES RIVER LABORATORIES INTERNATIONAL, INC.'s SEC EDGAR filings via a reverse-DCF inversion. Last analyzed June 27, 2026.
