Top healthcare sector picks
We highlight our expectations for each of the stocks ahead of their upcoming results. Please note, ResMed has already reported it's results.
ResMed (RMD)
2Q was solid and above expectations, underpinned by high single digit revenue
growth and expanding GM, with good cost control helping to drive operating
leverage.
Sonic Healthcare (SHL)
We expect a strong result, underpinned by COVID testing across all key geographies more than offsetting weakness in the base business (ie non-COVID testing).
Virtus Health (VRT)
We are forecasting NPAT of A$16.8m up 19.1% on pcp. There are no consensus 1H forecasts. We expect to hear positive commentary around cycle volumes remaining steady in 2HFY21.
Monash IVF (MVF)
We are forecasting 1HFY21 NPAT before non-regular items of A$11m.
Volpara (VPH)
We are forecasting NPAT of A$16.8m up 19.1% on pcp. There are no consensus 1H forecasts. We expect to hear positive commentary around cycle volumes remaining steady in 2HFY21.
Pro Medicus (PME)
We expect a solid result with EBITDA up >20% to A$22.5m, reflecting margin expansion driven by lower opex due to travel restrictions and full period contributions and setup fees from a number of new recent contracts
Mach7 Technologies (M7T)
Our forecast EBITDA is A$1.7m for 1HFY21.
