See our latest analysis for OSI Systems.
OSI Systems' one month share price return of 7.44% and seven day gain of 3.12% suggest interest has picked up around contract wins like the new US$11 million Security order, even though the year to date share price return is down 8.99% and the five year total shareholder return of 131.11% points to a much stronger longer run record.

Most Popular Narrative: 22.5% Undervalued
The most followed narrative currently places OSI Systems’ fair value at $300.29 per share, compared with a last close of $232.61. This frames the recent contract win in a much broader earnings and cash flow story.
Record backlog levels, global customer diversification beyond large legacy contracts like Mexico, and increased investment in R&D for differentiated platforms position OSI to accelerate earnings and free cash flow growth, and to better capitalize on long-term secular trends underpinning security and diagnostic infrastructure spending.
Curious what sits behind that fair value gap for OSI Systems. The narrative leans heavily on projected earnings compounding, firmer margins, and a richer profit multiple. The exact mix of contract visibility, margin assumptions and discount rate might surprise you.
Based on this narrative, OSI Systems screens as undervalued, with the fair value of $300.29 sitting above the current share price and supported by detailed assumptions on revenue growth, profitability and a 9.67% discount rate.
Result: Fair Value of $300.29 (UNDERVALUED)
