Analysis:
rates Masimo as a
. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, solid stock price performance, impressive record of earnings per share growth, notable return on equity and expanding profit margins. We feel its strengths outweigh the fact that the company shows weak operating cash flow.
Highlights from the ratings report include:
- MASI's revenue growth has slightly outpaced the industry average of 7.9%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 10.8%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- Powered by its strong earnings growth of 39.47% and other important driving factors, this stock has surged by 34.79% over the past year, outperforming the rise in the S&P 500 Index during the same period. Regarding the stock's future course, although almost any stock can fall in a broad market decline, MASI should continue to move higher despite the fact that it has already enjoyed a very nice gain in the past year.
- MASIMO CORP has improved earnings per share by 39.5% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. We feel that this trend should continue. During the past fiscal year, MASIMO CORP increased its bottom line by earning $1.56 versus $1.30 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($1.83 versus $1.56).
- The company's current return on equity greatly increased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of significant strength within the corporation. Compared to other companies in the Health Care Equipment & Supplies industry and the overall market, MASIMO CORP's return on equity significantly exceeds that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- The gross profit margin for MASIMO CORP is rather high; currently it is at 69.09%. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Along with this, the net profit margin of 16.11% is above that of the industry average.
