Resmed reported 1Q17 results with adjusted NPAT of $88 million or 3.6% growth on the same time last year.
While the improving gross margin is a positive sign, it’s difficult to equate RMD’s 3% organic growth in the first quarter with its recent FY17 multiple of 22x earnings. The recent pull back in the share price to $7.85 could relieve some of this P/E imbalance.
We look to add to the RMD position on the current pullback. A rally back above $8.25 will provide an opportunity to sell covered calls.

Resmed (RMD.ASX) reports first quarter FY17 results on the 26th of October. The result is likely to meet or exceed market expectations.
RMD is forecast to deliver 10%+ in EPS growth across the next few years. The recent acquisition of Brightree, Inova and Curative Medical will underpin both revenue and future profit growth, within an industry sector where demand continues to grow.

Out of the three healthcare buy recommendations, (CSL, SHL and RMD), made in the blog post back on 13th of September, CSL has increased 10% and SHL 10%+, however, RMD has been slower to recover. With the recent price action in RMD, we’re now more confident that a basing pattern, (or reversal), is beginning to take shape. Therefore, today’s post acts as a reminder that a buy opportunity in RMD remains, with an upside target of $9.00+
