In other recent news, ResMed’s financial performance and analyst evaluations have drawn significant attention. ResMed’s third-quarter results met expectations, prompting Citi analysts to raise the stock’s price target to AUD45.00 from AUD44.00 while maintaining a Buy rating. This adjustment reflects an anticipated improvement in earnings per share from fiscal years 2025 to 2027. UBS also reaffirmed a Buy rating for ResMed, setting the price target at $285.00, following promising results from Apnimed’s Phase 3 clinical trial for a new sleep apnea treatment. Meanwhile, Stifel maintained a Hold rating with a $240.00 price target, noting that device sales fell short of projections, though mask sales exceeded expectations.

RBC Capital Markets increased ResMed’s price target to $255.00 from $247.00, maintaining a Sector Perform rating. This adjustment came after ResMed’s fiscal third-quarter results showed robust growth in revenue and earnings, alongside a significant announcement about the company’s products being largely exempt from U.S. import tariffs. Despite these positive updates, analysts continue to monitor potential impacts from GLP-1 medications and the uncertainty of Philips’ return to the U.S. market by 2027. ResMed’s strong balance sheet, with net cash and substantial free cash flow generation, remains a point of confidence for analysts. Investors are likely to keep a close watch on upcoming developments, including Apnimed’s FDA submission and the detailed trial data release.
