In a report released today, Michael Matson from Needham maintained a Hold rating on Resmed Inc (RMD). The company’s shares closed yesterday at $113.03, close to its 52-week high of $116.64.
Matson wrote:
“RMD’s AirSense flow generator platform is about four years old and even though RMD’s software products have probably extended its hardware product life cycles, we think it is likely that RMD launches a new platform in CY19. Flow generator launches have historically resulted in higher revenue growth and we expect a similar, though potentially smaller, impact from its next launch. And on 12/3/18, RMD announced an agreement to acquire Propeller Health for $225M. We maintain our Hold rating given RMD’s valuation though confirmation of a new flow generator product cycle could make us more positive on RMD shares.”
According to TipRanks.com, Matson is a 5-star analyst with an average return of 11.9% and a 64.5% success rate. Matson covers the Healthcare sector, focusing on stocks such as Boston Scientific Corp, Cardiovascular Systems, and Zimmer Biomet Holdings.
