If you believe CI can sustain its stronger growth and ROIC while gradually improving margins, then CI looks attractive to own because it trades at a much lower multiple than BDX despite better capital efficiency and lower net leverage.
CI trades at a clear discount to BDX on P/E, P/S, EV/EBITDA, and EV/Revenue, which is the main driver of the valuation gap. The market is paying up for BDX’s higher margin profile, but CI’s current multiple implies a much lower earnings and sales valuation despite better growth and return metrics.
