Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about ResMed stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "ResMed exited fourth-quarter fiscal 2017 on a promising note with earnings and revenues beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The company achieved high single-digit global revenue growth this quarter, led by sales of sleep devices, respiratory care devices, mask systems and software solutions. Also, Brightree has acted as a significant contributor to the company’s operating results through 2017. Notably, over the last three months, ResMed is trading significantly above the broader industry. We believe, ResMed’s product launches and strategies to gain traction in the SDB market are expected to boost its performance further in the near term. Its recent published favorable study result on COPD is expected to open up new scope in this line. Yet, challenges like competitive bidding and reimbursement issues continue to plague the stock. Rising operating expenses and a weak operating margin are other major woes for ResMed." (8/3/2017)
• 2. Needham & Company LLC analysts commented, "RMD’s revenue missed consensus but its EPS beat consensus in F4Q17. Organic revenue growth increased to 8% in F4Q17 from 6% in F3Q17 as RMD saw higher flow generator growth partly offset by a slowdown in masks due to supply constraints in the first two months of the quarter. While RMD’s gross margin was slightly lower than expected, it was more than offset by lower than expected SG&A and R&D allowing RMD’s operating margin to beat our estimate. We maintain our Underperform rating since we believe that RMD’s longer-run revenue growth potential is similar to its large-cap peers (mid-single digit revenue growth and 8-10% EPS growth —possibly generous since we note that RMD’s EPS growth has averaged just 4% for the past three years) while its multiple is at a premium (CY17E P/E of 26.5x vs. large-cap med tech peers at 24.3x)."
