MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

ResMed
Bull Case

green Wall Street bull icon

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in ResMed Inc.:

  • ResMed Inc. recently announced a $450 million accelerated share repurchase agreement on August 31, 2026, which signals management's confidence in the company's long-term value and provides a direct mechanism to reduce the number of outstanding shares, potentially increasing earnings per share for remaining holders.
  • The company demonstrated strong financial performance in its most recent quarter, reporting earnings per share of $2.95, which exceeded the analyst consensus estimate of $2.89, while also achieving a net margin of 26.94% and a return on equity of 25.58%, indicating efficient capital deployment and robust profitability.
  • ResMed Inc. recently increased its quarterly dividend to $0.66 per share, representing a boost from the previous $0.60 payout, which translates to an annualized dividend yield of approximately 1.2% and offers investors a growing income stream alongside potential capital appreciation.
  • With a current stock price of $228.25, the shares are trading below the average analyst price target of $240.31, suggesting that the market may be undervaluing the company relative to sell-side expectations, which could present an opportunity for price appreciation as the stock converges with these targets.
  • The company maintains a conservative balance sheet with a debt-to-equity ratio of only 0.06 and a current ratio of 3.10, providing significant financial flexibility to navigate economic uncertainties and fund future growth initiatives without relying heavily on external debt financing.

ResMed
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

Investors should be bearish about investing in ResMed Inc. for these reasons:

  • Pomerantz LLP is currently investigating claims on behalf of investors of ResMed Inc., as reported in September 2026, which introduces legal risk and potential distraction for management, as well as the possibility of financial liabilities or reputational damage that could negatively impact the stock price.
  • The consensus rating from seventeen research firms covering the company is currently "Hold," with ten analysts issuing hold ratings and seven issuing buy ratings, indicating a lack of strong bullish conviction among sell-side professionals who may view the current valuation or growth outlook as adequate rather than exceptional.
  • ResMed Inc. has experienced a significant decline in its average analyst price target over the past year, dropping from $299.27 in early 2026 to $240.31 in September 2026, reflecting a downward revision in expectations for the company's future earnings potential or market position.
  • Short interest in the stock has increased to 12,794,915 shares as of August 14, 2026, representing approximately 8.93% of the float, which indicates that a notable portion of the market is betting against the stock's performance, potentially creating downward pressure on the share price.
  • Despite the recent dividend increase, the company's payout ratio stands at 25.31%, and with a P/E ratio of 21.88, investors may question whether the current valuation is justified given the slowing growth in analyst price targets and the presence of legal investigations, making the risk-reward profile less attractive compared to other healthcare stocks.
