ResMed Inc. (RMD), headquartered in San Diego, California, manufactures, distributes, and markets medical devices and cloud-based software applications.

Shares of this sleep tech giant have underperformed the broader market over the past year. RMD has gained 2.9% over this time frame, while the broader S&P 500 Index ($SPX) has rallied nearly 12.3%. In 2025, RMD stock is up 7.1%, compared to the SPX’s 12.9% rise on a YTD basis.
Narrowing the focus, RMD’s underperformance is also apparent compared to the iShares U.S. Medical Devices ETF (IHI). The exchange-traded fund has gained about 3.3% over the past year. However, RMD’s returns on a YTD basis outshine the ETF’s 6.1% gains over the same time frame.

For the current fiscal year, ending in June 2026, analysts expect RMD’s EPS to grow 13.2% to $10.81 on a diluted basis. The company’s earnings surprise history is impressive. It beat the consensus estimate in each of the last four quarters.
