I’m watching the RMD share price in 2024

The Resmed CDI (ASX:RMD) share price has increased 44.4% since the start of 2024. It's probably worth asking, 'is the RMD share price priced to perfection?'
The Resmed CDI (ASX:RMD) share price has increased 44.4% since the start of 2024. The Flight Centre Travel Group Ltd (ASX:FLT) share price is 0.9% off its 52-week low.

RMD share price in focus

ResMed was founded in 1989 by Peter Farrell in Australia but is now based in San Diego, California. It is a medical equipment company that provides cloud-connectable continuous positive airway pressure, or CPAP, machines for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Because of its US home base, ResMed shares have their primary listing on the NYSE but are also listed on the ASX.

ResMed operates on a global scale, with 10,000+ employees and a presence in over 140 countries. It has two primary business units: Sleep and Respiratory Care, and Software as a Service (SaaS). Within Sleep and Respiratory Care, ResMed provides industry-leading CPAP machines for sleep apnea. The Respiratory Care unit covers patients ranging from those who only require therapy from CPAP systems at night to those who are dependent on non-invasive or invasive ventilation for life-support. Within the SaaS unit ResMed provides software that assists durable or home medical equipment (DME/HME). Basically, it assists in out-of-hospital care.

Due to ResMed’s large digital health network powered by its cloud-connected devices, ResMed can leverage its industry-leading hardware (e.g. masks and humidifiers) and its SaaS data to drive insights, improve outcomes and reduce overall healthcare costs.

FLT shares

Founded in Sydney in 1982, Flight Centre is a travel agency that operates under multiple names across over 80 countries.

It’s involved in both the retail and corporate sectors and also offers additional services such as tour operations, travel experiences and hotel management.

Flight Centre aims to offer a personal touch that many online travel agencies might not have. Consultants are able to handle all the work involved and are often able to find exclusive deals for their customers, which keeps them coming back.

RMD share price valuation

As a growth company, one way to put a broad estimate on the RMD share price could be to compare its price-to-sales multiple over time. Currently, Resmed CDI shares have a price-sales ratio of 5.07x, compared to its 5-year average of 8.70x, meaning its shares are trading below their historical average. This could mean that the share price has fallen, or sales have increased, or both. In the case of RMD, revenue has been growing over the last 3 years. Please keep in mind that context is important – and this is just one valuation technique. Investment decisions can’t just be based on one metric.

The FLT share price currently trades at a price-sales ratio of 1.29x, which compares to its 5-year long-term average of 3.42x. So, FLT shares are trading below their historical average. However, a simple multiple like this should only be the start of your research.
