What's in the Cards for Medtronic (MDT) in Q2 Earnings?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Medtronic plc (MDT - Free Report) is scheduled to report second-quarter fiscal 2023 results on Nov 21, before the opening bell.
In the last reported quarter, the company’s earnings exceeded the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 8.1%. Medtronic surpassed estimates in three of the trailing four quarters and missed once, the average surprise being 3.37%.
Let’s see how things have shaped up prior to this announcement.
Factors at Play
Similar to the last few quarters, Medtronic's business is expected to have registered growth. The upside is likely to have been fueled by procedure volume recovery, supply improvements and innovative product introductions.
In cardiac rhythm management within the broader Cardiovascular, the company continues to outperform the market, banking on strong global growth of its Micra leadless pacemaker family as it enters new geographies and expands penetration in existing markets. In May 2023, Medtronic received FDA approval for Micra AV2 and VR2, which extend the battery life by 40% to a projected 16-17 years, respectively. The ICDs (Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator) within cardiac rhythm management are gaining in terms of market share following the latest CE Mark for the Aurora Extravascular ICD. We believe these developments to have boosted the company’s second-quarter revenues.
Per our model, we project the Medtronic Cardiovascular segment to register growth of 3.9% in the fiscal second quarter.
Within Medtronic’s Neuroscience portfolio, the Cranial Spinal technologies business registered robust growth in recent quarters. In the fiscal first quarter, this segment benefitted from increased sales of Spine & Biologics products in the United States based on the continued adoption of the Aible spinal ecosystem. The company's ENT business within the Specialty Therapies division in the Neuroscience portfolio continues to contribute positively. The Specialty Therapies business is gaining from the strong performances of the company’s hemorrhagic stroke flow diversion products. We expect these trends to have continued through the fiscal second quarter, thus adding to the top line.
Per our model, we project Medtronic’s Neuroscience segment to register growth of 2% in the fiscal second quarter.
Within Medtronic’s MedSurg portfolios, the rollout of differentiated Hugo robotic systems in many international markets and the United States will likely drive revenues in the to-be-reported quarter. Medtronic is likely to have registered strong performance within Advanced Energy and Barrx, primarily driven by improved supply and continued growth in GI Genius and PillCam in the second quarter of fiscal 2024.
We project Medtronic’s MedSurg segment to register an increase of 8.9% in the fiscal second quarter.
In Diabetes, Medtronic continues to see significant growth in markets outside the United States, led by the increasing user base of the MiniMed 780G insulin pump combined with the Guardian 4 sensor. During the fiscal first quarter, the company launched 780G and Guardian 4 sensors. We believe these launches will contribute to the company’s fiscal second-quarter performance owing to strong customer adoption.
In September 2023, Medtronic received CE Mark approval for its new all-in-one, disposable Simplera continuous glucose monitor (CGM) featuring a simple, two-step insertion process. We believe this development will contribute to the company’s top line in the quarter to be reported.
According to our model, Medtronic’s overall Diabetes is expected to rise 0.7% in the fiscal second quarter.
