Estimate Revision Trend Ahead of RMD’s Q3 Earnings

Estimates for earnings have remained stable in the past 60 days.

Here’s a brief review of the company’s performance leading up to the announcement.

Factors Likely to Influence RMD’s Q3 Results

Sleep and Breathing Health

Within this segment, Resmed is likely to have benefited from strong demand for its mask portfolio across the United States, Canada and Latin America regions. Growth may have also accelerated in Europe, Asia and the rest of the world region. Mask and other sales are expected to have witnessed continued growth in resupply and new patient setups, while the VirtuOx acquisition is likely to have contributed to incremental revenues. Greater mask resupply must have benefited patients, home care providers, payers and healthcare systems while supporting Resmed’s growth.

The company is strategically expanding its mask portfolio with product innovations, which are expected to have supported revenues in the fiscal third quarter.

Resmed’s use of ML, AI and generative AI technology in its digital health products, including the broader rollout of Dawn personal sleep health digital assistant into the myAir platform, may have positively impacted its overall top line. The company is also likely to have gained from the widespread U.S. adoption of NightOwl, its fingertip-sized home sleep apnea test.

Device sales numbers are likely to reflect the ongoing combined availability of Resmed’s AirSense 10 and AirSense 11 sleep devices, supporting underlying global demand. The company is also expected to have introduced AirSense 11 to additional countries following regulatory clearances.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Sleep and Breathing Health revenues implies a 10% increase.

ResMed Inc. Price and EPS Surprise

Residential Care Software

The division, which provides business management software-as-a-service to out-of-hospital health providers, remains a key strategic enabler of the core Sleep and Breathing Health business. Resmed is likely to have executed its RCS portfolio management strategy, channeling more investment into the high-growth, higher-margin parts of the portfolio while reducing exposure to lower-growth, lower-margin areas, such as the services businesses.

The fiscal third-quarter performance might have been affected by a challenging growth environment for the senior living and long-term care vertical. This must have been offset by strong performance from the MEDIFOX platform and core Brightree platforms. 

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for this segment’s revenues indicates a rise of 6.8%.
