Resmed's Matrixcare Sale May Hint at AI Disruption Risk

Dow Jones
07/08

0409 GMT - ResMed's sale of its MatrixCare business at a lower-than-expected earnings multiple leads RBC analyst Craig Wong-Pan to suspect that the breath-tech maker may have been worried about AI disruption risks. Wong-Pan didn't expect a sale to match the 25X earnings ResMed paid in 2018, but had anticipated a multiple in the low double digits to mid teens. Instead, ResMed is selling at 8.9X earnings. He expects the majority of the US$490 million proceeds to be distributed to shareholders. "We wonder if ResMed's decision to sell at this multiple partly reflects possible risks of future AI disruption to its software business." RBC has an outperform rating and US$321.00 target price on ResMed's U.S.-listed stock. Its ASX-listed shares are down 0.5% at 31.29 Australian dollars. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
