Although the revenue and EPS for Medtronic (MDT) give a sense of how its business performed in the quarter ended July 2024, it might be worth considering how some key metrics compare with Wall Street estimates and the year-ago numbers.
Medtronic (MDT) came out with quarterly earnings of $1.23 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.20 per share. This compares to earnings of $1.20 per share a year ago.
Medtronic slightly lifted the lower end of its annual profit forecast on Tuesday, banking on sustained demand for its medical devices and growth from its new launches.
Shares of Medtronic PLC MDT, +0.26% gained 0.8% in premarket trading Tuesday, after the cardiovascular and medical surgical products company topped fiscal first-quarter profit and sales expectations and nudged up its full-year outlook. Net income for the quarter to July 26 rose to $1.04 billion, or 80 cents a share, from $791 million, or 59 cents a share, in the year-ago period.
Medtronic's (MDT) first-quarter profits might have been dented by higher costs and expenses originating from macro issues and geopolitical complexities. However, innovations may have boosted the top line.
Medtronic stock underperformed the market, up only 4% in the past year. The options market predicts a 3.3% stock price swing post-earnings. Mid-single-digit EPS growth, rising dividends, and historically high yield for Medtronic are positive factors.
Medtronic is a strong option for investors seeking both low volatility and consistent dividend growth. I am quite positive about recent developments related to new crucial FDA approvals. Various valuation approaches suggest that the current share price is attractive.
Medtronic (NYSE: MDT) is scheduled to report its fiscal 2025 first-quarter results on Tuesday, August 20 (fiscal year ends in April). We expect Medtronic stock to trade higher post-Q1 results announcement, with its revenues and earnings expected to be slightly above the street estimates.
The FDA approval for Medtronic's (MDT) Simplera CGM sets the stage for further regulatory submissions of the updated InPen smart insulin pen app.
