| 4. Dividend Record | Currently Pays Dividend | Pass | ||

Stage 2: Determination of Intrinsic Value
| EPSmg | $1.93 |
| MG Growth Estimate | 12.82% |
| MG Value | $65.89 |
| Opinion | Fairly Valued |
| MG Grade | C |
| MG Value based on 3% Growth | $27.99 |
| MG Value based on 0% Growth | $16.41 |
| Market Implied Growth Rate | 9.39% |
| Current Price | $52.66 |
| % of Intrinsic Value | 79.93% |
PerkinElmer, Inc. is suitable for the Enterprising Investor but not the more conservative Defensive Investor. The Defensive Investor is concerned with the low current ratio, high PEmg and PB ratios. The Enterprising Investor is only concerned with the level of debt relative to the net current assets. As a result, all Enterprising Investors following the ModernGraham approach should feel comfortable proceeding with the analysis.
As for a valuation, the company appears to be Fairly Valued after growing its EPSmg (normalized earnings) from $1.04 in 2012 to an estimated $1.93 for 2016. This level of demonstrated earnings growth supports the market’s implied estimate of 9.39% annual earnings growth over the next 7-10 years. As a result, the ModernGraham valuation model, based on Benjamin Graham’s formula, returns an estimate of intrinsic value within a margin of safety relative to the price.
PerkinElmer, Inc. receives an average overall rating in the ModernGraham grading system, scoring a C.
