What Teleflex does

Maker of single-use medical devices for vascular access, surgical, interventional and urology procedures.

Sells disposable devices that are used once per procedure, so revenue recurs with procedure volumes rather than depending on one-off equipment sales. Hospitals buy through its own sales force, distributors and supply contracts. Its vascular access and interventional lines carry the business.

Is Teleflex expensive compared with its peers?
On forward p/e it trades at 16.8× against a peer median of 21.0×, 4th cheapest of 20 in its peer set. For today's price to make sense, revenue must grow about 18% a year for seven years (Req g). Recent delivered growth is -5%, so the hurdle is +23 pp: the price needs faster growth than the company has been delivering — of companies that just grew 25–50% a year, 93.8% slowed down over the next four years.
How has Teleflex stock performed?
Over six months to 6 Nov 2026 the shares returned +13.4% against +27.7% for the median peer; over one year +20.9%.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. 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.
