This score blends growth quality, financial health, and price attractiveness into a single institutional-grade read.
The stock trades at a P/E ratio of 14.5x, below its 5-year median of 16.1x. The PEG ratio of 0.86 suggests earnings growth is outpacing the multiple, a classic sign of undervaluation.

Our discounted cash flow model estimates GNTX's intrinsic value at $46.73 per share, against the current market price of $23.20. This implies a margin of safety of +47.74%. A meaningful cushion exists against model error, making this a reasonable risk-adjusted entry.
The Piotroski F-Score of 4/9 puts financial quality in a middling range, neither a standout strength nor an obvious red flag.
Bottom line: GNTX trades at a fair valuation on our framework, with a Smart Value Score of 67/100. The valuation is defensible but offers no obvious bargain. Patience or a better entry price may reward disciplined buyers.
