  • Mirion Technologies Valuation Under Spotlight After 12% Share Price Surge
    January 23, 2026, 6:20 PM EST. Mirion Technologies (MIR) saw its stock rise approximately 12% over the past month, fueled by strong financials including annual revenue of $902.3 million and net income of $26.5 million. With revenue growth at 13.4% and net income up 63.4%, the company delivered a 46% total shareholder return over the last year. Despite a recent close at $26.69, analysts suggest a fair value of $30.50, indicating potential undervaluation based on long-term growth and new software initiatives. However, Mirion's high price-to-sales ratio of 6.8x, compared to industry peers, signals a premium that may already price in risks linked to its nuclear sector involvement and acquisition strategy.
