Our Take
Masimo exited the first quarter of 2022 with better-than-expected results. Robust uptick in the top line is encouraging. The company recorded robust order shipments during the reported quarter, which is encouraging. Expansion of the company’s installed base is also impressive. The company closed the acquisition of Sound United in April and also confirmed that it will report consolidated financial results beginning in the second quarter of 2022, raising our optimism.
A slew of favorable studies on Masimo’s products and enhancement to its telehealth capabilities are also promising. Masimo confirmed that it has been witnessing a rebound in elective surgeries and better access for its sales force within hospitals as a result of the easing of pandemic-induced hospitalization concerns, which is encouraging. Expansion of gross margin bodes well for the stock. The company raising its full-year financial outlook also looks promising.
On the flip side, the company continuing to face supply chain challenges related to component shortages and limited labor availability at its manufacturing facilities is concerning. Contraction of adjusted operating margin in the quarter does not bode well. Masimo faces fierce competition from MedTech bigwigs, raising our apprehensions.
