What RadNet does

Largest US operator of outpatient diagnostic imaging centers (MRI, CT, X-ray, mammography), also building AI-enabled imaging software.

Bills insurers and Medicare for each scan, under contracts negotiated with health plans, so volumes and reimbursement rates set income. Many centres are run as joint ventures with hospital systems, which feeds referrals. A digital health unit, built through acquisitions of AI software firms, sells software for reading images and detecting disease.

Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal).
