What ResMed does

Leading maker of devices and masks for treating sleep apnea and other respiratory conditions, plus digital health care-coordination software.

Sells mainly through home medical equipment suppliers that set patients up and are reimbursed by insurers and government programs, so reimbursement rules matter. Masks and accessories need regular replacement, producing repeat sales on top of the one-time device. It also owns care-management software businesses such as Brightree and MatrixCare.

Products and services

  • CPAP devices
  • Masks/accessories
  • Digital health (Brightree, connected care software)

Customers

  • Sleep apnea patients
  • Home medical equipment providers
  • Sleep clinics

Where it sits in the supply chain

  • Healthcare
  • Medical devices
  • Sleep apnea (CPAP) devices and digital…

What could go right

  • Undiagnosed sleep-apnea market penetration
  • GLP-1 drugs potentially growing diagnosed population

What could go wrong

  • GLP-1 drugs seen as a competing risk to CPAP demand
  • Reimbursement pressure from payers

Moat: wide (installed base, switching costs, brand). Large installed device/mask base plus connected-care software creates recurring, sticky revenue.

Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
