ResMed (RMD)
Forward P/E is 20.84x against a peer median of 27.95x, a ratio of 0.75x — below the 0.90x undervalued line — with trailing P/E 24.16x and PEG 1.54. Latest-quarter revenue grew 8.6% year over year (PRIMARY, EDGAR), above the group median, so the value-trap check does not apply: the discount comes with growing sales. Delivered demand check: the medical devices & equipment group's median growth was 7.8% year over year — demand steady, and ResMed is growing a little ahead of it.
What would change this label: Move to FAIRLY PRICED if the forward P/E rises to about 25.2x or above (0.90x the peer median) at unchanged estimates, or if revenue growth falls below about 3% year over year for two quarters.
ResMed sells CPAP machines and masks that treat sleep apnea, plus software for home care. Its shares cost noticeably less than similar companies even though its sales are growing a little faster than theirs. That makes the shares look undervalued.
Both lines start at 100 on 2020-09-01. Over the full window ResMed returned +40.18% and the S&P 500 +118.28% (price returns; dividends not reinvested). Worst peak-to-trough fall for ResMed: -54.7% (2021-09-08 to 2023-10-27). Source: Nasdaq official daily history.
What the label rests on
Forward P/E is 20.84x against a peer median of 27.95x, a ratio of 0.75x — below the 0.90x undervalued line — with trailing P/E 24.16x and PEG 1.54. Latest-quarter revenue grew 8.6% year over year (PRIMARY, EDGAR), above the group median, so the value-trap check does not apply: the discount comes with growing sales. Delivered demand check: the medical devices & equipment group's median growth was 7.8% year over year — demand steady, and ResMed is growing a little ahead of it. The company’s forward P/E is 20.8× against a peer median of 27.9×. Its own history: UNVERIFIED — no sourced range available. Sector demand read: Delivered demand check: the medical devices & equipment group's median latest-quarter revenue growth was 7.8% year over year (SEC filings) — demand steady. ResMed's own growth of 8.6% ran a little ahead of that median. Latest-quarter sales growth was +8.6% versus a year earlier (SEC filings).

Sales, profit and cash
Gross margin = gross profit divided by sales, from SEC filings.
Free cash flow = cash from operations minus spending on plant and equipment, both from the company’s SEC cash-flow statement. Gaps are quarters where that spending line is not separately tagged in the filings — shown as gaps, never estimated.

The last twelve reported quarters. Full 24-quarter history sits in the data pack behind this page. A dash means the figure is not tagged as a standalone quarter in the company’s SEC facts (the usual case is the fourth quarter, which many companies only report inside the full-year filing) — it is missing, not zero.
Earnings: getting better or worse?
Each box is one quarter’s earnings per share (EPS). Green means EPS was higher than the same quarter a year earlier; red means lower; a dash means the figure is not tagged in the filings.
Basis: GAAP diluted EPS from SEC company facts, compared with the same quarter a year earlier.

What we could not verify
- TTM GAAP diluted EPS could not be summed from company facts because at least one of the last four quarters (typically Q4) has no standalone tagged EPS; trailing P/E is therefore taken from the labelled secondary source in valuation_label.md.
- Own-history P/E range not yet compiled for this company in the Phase 1 batch run; the label rests on peer-median, growth and PEG evidence.
- Guidance record (each quarter scored against the guidance the company gave the quarter before) is not yet compiled for this company — it is a Phase 2 layer. The earnings strip below therefore uses reported EPS versus a year earlier, which is fully sourced from filings.
The IT factor — the most exciting thing the market is overlooking — is not assessed on an X-Ray page. It belongs to the Deep Dive (Phase 2), where it gets the evidence standard it needs. Leadership-era scoring (the six years split by chief executive) is likewise a Phase 2 layer; this page names the current chief executive only, from a sourced profile.
