Price Performance

Growth Potential

  • Global leader in a significantly under-penetrated sleep apnea market. High barriers to entry in establishing global distribution channels.
  • Strong R&D program ensuring RMD remains ahead of competitors.
  • New product launches (momentum in new mask releases) & buildout of portfolio via bolt-on acquisitions is seeing RMD become the one-stop shop for sleep apnear.
  • Increasing popularity of GLP-1s is increasing awareness with studies indicating patients with an OSA diagnosis and prescribed a GLP-1 drug are 11% more likely to initiate PAP therapy.
  • Strong balance sheet and attractive free cash flow profile provides management significant strategic flexibility. 
  • Solid FY26 guidance with further upside to gross margin.
  • Capital management – active share buyback (shares to be repurchased expected at $150m per quarter for FY26).

Key Risks


  • Disruptive technology leads to better patient compliance or introduction of alternative therapies (GLP-1 weight loss drugs).
  • Product recall leading to reputational damage.
  • Competitive threats lead to market share loss – e.g. pharmaceutical threats to the CPAP market.
  • Disappointing growth (company and industry specific).
  • Adverse currency movements (AUD, EUR, USD).
