Why Do Investors Watch RMD Stock?

Founded in 1989 to address the then-underdiagnosed condition of sleep apnea, ResMed (NYSE:RMD) develops cloud-connected medical devices and software solutions that treat sleep apnea, COPD, and other respiratory disorders for home and clinical use.

Three Things to Like:

1. Constant Currency Revenue Drives Growth

In addition to reported revenue, constant currency revenue is a useful data point for analyzing Patient Monitoring companies. This metric excludes currency movements, which are outside of ResMed’s control and are not indicative of underlying demand.

Over the last two years, ResMed’s constant currency revenue averaged 9.4% year-on-year growth. This performance was solid and shows it can expand steadily on a global scale regardless of the macroeconomic environment. ResMed Constant Currency Revenue Growth

2. Outstanding Long-Term EPS Growth

We track the long-term change in earnings per share (EPS) because it highlights whether a company’s growth is profitable.

ResMed’s EPS grew at a spectacular 14.2% compounded annual growth rate over the last five years, higher than its 11.7% annualized revenue growth. This tells us the company became more profitable on a per-share basis as it expanded.

3. Increasing Free Cash Flow Margin Juices Financials

Free cash flow isn't a prominently featured metric in company financials and earnings releases, but we think it's telling because it accounts for all operating and capital expenses, making it tough to manipulate. Cash is king.

As you can see below, ResMed’s margin expanded by 21.4 percentage points over the last five years. This is encouraging, and we can see it became a less capital-intensive business because its free cash flow profitability rose more than its operating profitability. ResMed’s free cash flow margin for the trailing 12 months was 33.6%.
