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.

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

  • ResMed Inc. recently reported strong financial performance, beating analyst expectations with earnings per share of $2.95 in the most recent quarter, which exceeded the consensus estimate of $2.89, while revenue grew 8.6% year-over-year to $1.46 billion, demonstrating robust demand for its sleep and respiratory care solutions.
  • The company has increased its quarterly dividend to $0.66 per share, representing a positive change from the previous $0.60 payout, which offers investors a yield of approximately 1.18% and signals management confidence in sustainable cash flow generation.
  • ResMed Inc. is currently trading at $221.99, which is below the consensus price target of $241.69, suggesting potential upside for investors as the stock remains undervalued relative to Wall Street's average expectations despite recent market volatility.
  • Analysts have recently upgraded their outlook on the stock, with Royal Bank of Canada raising its price objective to $262.00 and upgrading the rating to "outperform," citing strong fourth-quarter results and expected high-single-digit earnings growth over the next three years.
  • The company maintains a healthy balance sheet with a low debt-to-equity ratio of 0.06 and a current ratio of 3.10, indicating strong liquidity and financial stability that can support long-term growth initiatives and shareholder returns.

ResMed
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

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

  • Insiders have been consistently selling shares, with CEO Michael J. Farrell and Director Peter C. Farrell executing multiple sales in recent months, including a recent sale by the CEO of 4,991 shares at an average price of $222.44, which may signal reduced internal confidence or personal financial needs.
  • The stock has experienced significant volatility and recently hit a 52-week low of $180.26, with the current price of $221.99 still well below the 52-week high of $284.87, indicating a challenging market environment and potential downward pressure on valuation.
  • Short interest has increased slightly, with shares shorted rising to 13,073,165 in the most recent reporting period, representing a 2.17% month-over-month increase, which suggests that some investors are betting against the stock's future performance.
  • ResMed Inc. faces rising competitive pressures in the sleep apnea market, as noted in recent analyst reports, which could erode market share and pricing power if competitors introduce more effective or lower-cost alternatives to its CPAP and APAP devices.
  • The company's consensus rating has shifted to "Hold" in recent months, down from "Moderate Buy" earlier in the year, reflecting a more cautious stance from analysts who are weighing the risks of margin pressure from rising costs against the company's growth prospects.
