Assumptions

• Analysts are assuming Quipt Home Medical's revenue will grow by 4.3% annually over the next 3 years.
• Analysts are not forecasting that Quipt Home Medical will become profitable in next 3 years. To represent the Analyst Price Target as a Future PE Valuation we will estimate Quipt Home Medical's profit margin will increase from -2.6% to the average CA Healthcare industry of 2.2% in 3 years.
• If Quipt Home Medical's profit margin were to converge on the industry average, you could expect earnings to reach $6.1 million (and earnings per share of $0.14) by about April 2028, up from $-6.4 million today.
• In order for the above numbers to justify the analysts price target, the company would need to trade at a PE ratio of 46.9x on those 2028 earnings, up from -13.6x today. This future PE is greater than the current PE for the CA Healthcare industry at 24.6x.
• Analysts expect the number of shares outstanding to grow by 1.22% per year for the next 3 years.
• To value all of this in today's terms, we will use a discount rate of 6.95%, as per the Simply Wall St company report.

Risks

• The discontinuation of the Medicare 75/25 blended rate and the withdrawal of certain Medicare Advantage members have negatively impacted revenue, resulting in a decrease of approximately $8 million in annual revenue and pressure on operating results. This can impact overall revenue and earnings.
  
• The termination of an incontinence supply contract is expected to create a $2.5 million revenue headwind in the upcoming fiscal quarters, potentially affecting revenue and net margins.
  
• Despite improvements, a decrease in adjusted EBITDA margin from 24.5% to 22.8% year-over-year indicates ongoing pressure on profitability, which can challenge plans for steady margin expansion and earnings growth.
  
• Rising operating expenses, as a percentage of revenue, increased from 47.6% to 49.5%, which could further erode net margins if not controlled effectively.
  
• Higher patient CapEx expenditures indicate increased reinvestment requirements, which could dampen free cash flow and limit financial flexibility for future strategic initiatives or growth opportunities.
