symbol.quality_heading
The business works in principle, but one material question is open. As long as it stays open, our findings do not carry a quality verdict.
Yellow here stands for earnings and oversight risk, not for a solvency risk. Against red sits the documented position: revenue stable between $6,174 million and $6,403 million since 2021 across more than 140 countries, $700 million of operating cash flow in 2025, an Altman Z-score of 5.40, a Piotroski score of 7 out of 9, $1,116 million of cash and equity that has climbed back from minus $1,508 million to plus $903 million. Too much is missing for green: net income down from $1,351 million to $187 million, an equity ratio of roughly 7 percent against $8,553 million of debt, channel loading at Nexplanon across six quarters documented by the Audit Committee, an open SEC investigation, internal controls judged not effective at December 31, 2024 and 2025, and a core product whose U.S. rod patent expires in 2027. The decision is yours.
symbol.quality_note
The stock has more than doubled from its March 30, 2026 low, it sits in our turnaround scanner, and the balance sheet really is healing: after three years of negative shareholders' equity, $903 million was back on the right side of the ledger at March 31, 2026. Except the rally has nothing to do with the turnaround. On April 26, 2026 Organon signed a merger agreement with Sun Pharmaceutical Industries: $14.00 per share in cash, a 103 percent premium to the April 9 close. Shareholders approved on July 23, 2026. What the filings with the U.S. securities regulator, the SEC, say alongside that is less comfortable: channel loading at Nexplanon, internal controls judged not effective two years running — and a valuation from the company's own adviser that tops out at $13.90. Anyone buying now is no longer buying a company. They are buying a calendar.

- EPS (Earnings Per Share):
- Quarterly profit divided by the total share count — how much of the profit works out to a single share.
- YoY (Year over Year):
- Change versus the same quarter a year ago — this is how you compare without seasonal distortion (e.g. the holiday shopping season).
- Sales:
- All revenue for the quarter, before any costs are deducted — the top line of the income statement.
- Net Margin:
- What percentage of sales is left over as profit in the end. Negative means the company is posting a loss.
- OCF (Operating Cash Flow):
- The cash that actually flows into the till from the core business during the quarter — harder to dress up than book profit.
- FCF (Free Cash Flow):
- Operating cash flow minus capital expenditures — the money that's genuinely free to use, say for paying down debt, buybacks, or dividends.

Assessment: Opportunities & Risks
A signed merger agreement dated April 26, 2026 for $14.00 per share in cash with committed financing; the special meeting approved it on July 23, 2026 by 192,776,552 votes to 2,573,118. Only regulatory clearances remain outstanding, with an outside date of January 26, 2027.
Net income fell from $1,351 million (2021) to $187 million (2025), weighed down by a $301 million goodwill impairment on the U.S. reporting unit. In the first quarter of 2026, $81 million of the $213 million in pre-tax income came from the Jada divestiture, and interest expense of $111 million stands against $146 million of net income.
Visible healing: equity from minus $1,508 million (December 31, 2021) to plus $903 million (March 31, 2026), an Altman Z-score of 5.40, cash of $1,116 million and an undrawn revolver. But the equity ratio is only about 7 percent against $8,553 million of long-term debt, roughly $3.6 billion of which matures in 2028.
The Audit Committee investigation documented channel loading at Nexplanon across six quarters between 2022 and 2025; the SEC has been investigating since the voluntary self-disclosure of October 26, 2025. Internal control over financial reporting was judged not effective at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2025; class actions and two derivative suits are pending.
Nexplanon contributed $921 million in 2025, roughly 15 percent of revenue, but fell 19 percent to $201 million in the first quarter of 2026 (U.S. from $176 million to $127 million). The U.S. rod patent expires in 2027, a Xiromed generic application is pending — and management's own projections show group revenue falling back to $6,470 million in 2030.
The $14.00 sits above the adviser's discounted cash flow range ($6.80 to $13.90 per share as of April 24, 2026), above analyst targets ($5.00 to $12.00) and above the premia paid analysis ($8.60 to $11.50) — but within the range of comparable pharma deals ($13.40 to $15.30) and, at roughly 6.3 times adjusted EBITDA, industry-standard rather than generous.
Organon shows up in the turnaround scanner because the stock trades far below its all-time high, the balance sheet is healing and the price has been rising — but the rise comes from a cash offer, not from the business. Since April 26, 2026 Sun Pharma has been paying $14.00 per share, shareholders approved on July 23, 2026, and only regulators remain. Alongside that, the SEC filings document channel loading at Nexplanon across six quarters, internal controls judged not effective two years running, an open SEC investigation and a core product whose U.S. patent lapses in 2027. Anyone buying today is no longer acquiring a company but the spread between the share price and the offer — plus the risk that closing fails. Not investment advice.
- Hook: in-house stock scanner "Turnaround Candidates", U.S. selection, rank 36 of 60 hits, turnaround check 6 of 8, measured July 27, 2026 (list computed July 26, 2026). The scanner page only shows the 25 strongest hits, so Organon does not appear on it. The lists are recalculated daily; rank and score are a snapshot.
- Cross-check on the mandatory pillar "at least 50 percent below the all-time high": our data set carries minus 59.01 percent on a distribution-adjusted basis. The price history confirms the order of magnitude: highest close $39.36 on March 2, 2022 against a $13.52 close on July 24, 2026 — minus 65.7 percent on the raw price. Not a figure misplaced by a factor of 1,000.
- Takeover check before writing: no Form 15, no Form 25, no Schedule 14D-9; the stock was still listed on the NYSE at the data date. The transaction is a Delaware merger approved by shareholder vote, not a tender offer.
- Data date: Form 10-K for 2025 filed February 24, 2026, Form 10-K for 2024 filed February 28, 2025, Form 10-Q for March 31, 2026 filed May 4, 2026, Forms 10-Q for September 30, 2025, June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, Form DEFM14A filed June 17, 2026, Forms 8-K dated February 20, April 27, April 30, July 17 and July 23, 2026; metrics and price history July 24 to 27, 2026.
- Not to be confused: Organon & Co. (NYSE: OGN) is not the Dutch Organon company that existed before the Schering-Plough and Merck acquisitions, nor is it the same as Merck & Co., from which it was spun off in 2021. The buyer, Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Limited, is listed in India, not in the United States.
- The quality rating in this analysis judges the company, not the entry point. A scanner rank is an invitation to research, not a buy signal.
