Fundamentals
Valuation and ratings
MEDIFAST INC trades at $11.52. We do not hold enough of the inputs to value this company with the confidence the estimate implies, so we publish no fair value for it rather than a number we would not defend.
Our moat model scores it 35 out of 100, which is little in the way of a moat. A moat is a structural reason competitors cannot take the profits away, and it matters more to a long holding period than any single quarter's numbers do.

Estimates are the published analyst consensus and move often. An earnings date is scheduled, not certain, and a share tends to reprice most violently on the day itself.
