Read MoreHide Full Article
A month has gone by since the last earnings report for ResMed (RMD - Free Report) . Shares have lost about 10.7% in that time frame, underperforming the S&P 500.

Before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late, let's take a quick look at its most recent earnings report in order to get a better handle on the important catalysts.
ResMed announced strong second-quarter fiscal 2021 results, wherein adjusted earnings per share came in at $1.41, up 16.5% year over year. The metric also beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 15.6%.
The adjustments include certain non-recurring expenses/benefits like amortization of acquired intangibles and restructuring costs and expenses among others.
Improvement in demand for the company’s ventilators and ventilation mask systems and provision of digital health solutions and other tools to customers aiding remote care amid the pandemic boosted ResMed’s bottom line during the fiscal second quarter.

Fiscal second-quarter revenues, on a reported basis, increased 8.7% year over year (up 7% at CER) to $800 million. The figure beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 3.6%.
A Closer View of Q2 Top Line

Adjusted gross profit in the quarter under review rose 9% to $478.9 million despite an 8.1% uptick in cost of sales (excluding expenses related to amortization of acquired intangibles and restructuring).
