DENTSPLY SIRONA Inc. — Cyborg Score 4/10

Mixed
Dental Equipment Manufacturing & Dental Consumables

Strategic Profile

The company is the largest name in a fragmented industry, giving Dentsply Sirona a size and scale that most competitors cannot replicate and provides opportunities to acquire smaller companies that can augment its core business. Dentsply Sirona also benefits from operating in a segment of health care that can be considered recession resistant as patients will seek out care for medical ailments.

Cyborg Score Rationale

In 2025, DENTSPLY SIRONA's revenue was $3.68 billion, a decrease of -2.98% compared to the previous year's $3.79 billion. The company faces significant headwinds including goodwill impairments and declining organic sales, though it maintains market leadership and adjusted profitability metrics remain positive.

Top Insights
