Medical Products' Aug 5 Earnings Roster: BDX, RMD & More
Read MoreHide Full Article
The Medical Products companies’, which are an integral part of the broader Medical sector, quarterly results are likely to have seen improved business growth in the quarter to be reported compared to the COVID-19 affected dismal performance in the year-ago quarter.
There has been a fall in the number of COVID-19 cases across the United States and other developed markets throughout the second quarter owing to the ramped-up vaccination process. This, in turn, has led to substantial rebound in base sales volumes. Easing of restrictions has aided non-COVID and elective legacy businesses of such companies to recover.
Apart from this, the second-quarter results of the industry participants are likely to reflect substantial market adoption of COVID-19-related healthcare-support products and services. In fact, Abbott’s (ABT - Free Report) underlying legacy diagnostics business continued to improve in the second quarter, driven by enhanced routine diagnostic testing levels and the continued rollout of Alinity platforms.
Meanwhile, even though vaccine and therapeutic makers have been gaining from the significant market adoption of their COVID-19-related healthcare-support products and services, the demand for COVID-19 testing has slowed down (owing to mass vaccination).
The Medical sector has delivered encouraging quarterly performance so far this reporting cycle. According to the latest Earnings Preview, this sector’s second-quarter earnings are expected to improve 23.2% on 18.4% revenue growth.
Let’s take a look at five Medical Product stocks that are scheduled to announce results on Aug 5.
Becton, Dickinson and Company (BDX - Free Report) : Becton, Dickinson and Company, popularly known as BD, is likely to have exhibited substantial strength in its Life Sciences segment in third-quarter fiscal 2021 results. Over the past few months, BD has been receiving a slew of regulatory approvals for its products. For instance, in May, the company announced that the industry's first self-collection claim for human papillomavirus (“HPV”) screening has been CE marked. This is likely to have contributed to the Life Sciences segment, thereby driving revenues. (Read more: BD Gears up for Q3 Earnings: What’s in the Offing?)

ResMed Inc. (RMD - Free Report) : Recovery of core patient flow, and increasing adoption of digital health solutions and other tools to aid remote care amid the pandemic is likely to have contributed to ResMed’s fiscal fourth-quarter 2021 performance. Solid organic growth rates in the U.S. pharmaceutical market, population demographics and improving patient access to medical care might get reflected in the to-be-reported quarter’s results. The company recorded strong sales across its mask product portfolio in the United States, Canada and Latin America in the fiscal third quarter and the momentum is likely to have continued in the to-be-reported quarter as well.
ResMed has a Zacks Rank #2 and an Earnings ESP of -0.60%.
Cardinal Health, Inc. (CAH - Free Report) : Cardinal Health’s Pharmaceutical segment is the second largest pharmaceutical distributor in the United States. Elective procedures and physician office visits are expected to recover to pre-COVID 19 levels exiting fiscal 2021, with a more substantial impact in the first half of the year. This might get reflected in the segment’s results in the fiscal fourth-quarter 2021 results. Cardinal Health’s Medical unit may have contributed significantly to the overall fiscal fourth-quarter performance. Revenues at this segment are likely to reflect increase in sales from personal protective equipment (PPE) and increase in volumes in its lab business.

Abiomed Inc. : Strong momentum of the Impella product line, which was seen in the fiscal fourth-quarter 2021, is expected to have continued through first-quarter fiscal 2022 as well, on the back of continued robust customer adoption.
