MERIT MEDICAL SYSTEMS INC
Next earnings Jul 28, 2026 (after close) · consensus $0.99 EPS, $414M rev
Last earnings +5.2% on 2026-04-30
Quality medtech compounder accelerating into 2026, but a 32.5x P/E on 8.5% net margins leaves little cushion — own, don't chase.
Revenue $1.52B · FY2025
Middling fundamentals and a rich price (~33% above fair value) leave little margin of safety — a wait-and-see.
Merit Medical is executing well. FY2025 revenue grew 11.8% to $1.52B with gross margin expanding 130bps to 48.7% and operating margin lifting to 12.2% from 11.5%, while operating cash flow surged 34.7% to $297M — evidence the Continued Growth initiatives Program targeting end-2026 is landing. The cardiovascular franchise grew 10.9% with cardiac intervention up 21.7% on the Cook (Nov 2024) and Biolife (May 2025) tuck-ins, and endoscopy jumped 33.0% off a small base. The balance sheet is in good shape: $446M cash (+18.5%), liabilities/equity of just 0.70x, retained earnings up 18.5% to $824M, and equity up 14.9% to $1.58B.
The problem is the price. At $69.20, MMSI trades at 32.5x trailing EPS and 2.7x sales on an 8.5% net margin and ~8.1% ROE — a premium multiple for a business whose net-margin actually slipped vs. FY2024 (8.5% from 8.9%) as SG&A crept to 30.0% of sales and other expense widened to -0.9%. EPS growth of just +4.9% trailed revenue growth of +11.8%, partly diluted by the 1.0% share-count rise and elevated D&A (+19.9%) and capex (+132.5% to $81.7M) tied to the M&A buildout. PEG on EPS growth is unfavorable; even on net income (+6.8%) the multiple is full.
