  • Hologic Shares Near Analyst Fair Value Estimates Amid Mixed Returns
    January 27, 2026, 3:41 PM EST. Hologic (HOLX) shares trade around $75.19, close to the $76.92 average analyst price target, implying a 29% discount based on cash flow valuation. Despite a modest 3.35% total shareholder return over one year, longer-term returns remain weaker. Analysts show mixed sentiment: price targets range from $65 to $94, reflecting uncertainty over growth and risk factors. The current price-to-earnings ratio of 29.6x slightly exceeds the modeled fair ratio of 27.9x but stays below industry peers. Key risks include tariff pressures and market challenges in China. Investors are advised to assess assumptions underlying earnings growth, margins, and valuation multiples before concluding on Hologic's relative value.
