• Deepening integration with large hospital systems via recent partnerships and joint ventures positions Quipt to become the preferred provider at hospital discharge, capturing more high-acuity, recurring patients and driving sustained revenue growth and enhanced revenue visibility.
  
• Demographic headwinds, notably the aging North American population and rising rates of chronic respiratory disease, continue to expand Quipt's addressable market, supporting robust long-term demand for home-based healthcare solutions and buoying top-line growth.
  
• Structural operational improvements and scalable infrastructure initiated in late 2024 have resulted in steady and strong EBITDA margins, with management expecting further margin expansion as recent acquisitions are integrated and cost efficiencies are realized, positively impacting net margins and earnings quality.
  
• Expansion in recurring rental and resupply programs, such as sleep therapy and oxygen, is stabilizing and diversifying Quipt's revenue streams, increasing cash flow predictability and reducing earnings volatility.
  
• The growing adoption of value-based care and the healthcare industry's shift towards cost-effective, home-centered solutions amplifies Quipt's competitive positioning, reducing payer risk and supporting sustainable revenue and profit growth into the future.

Quipt Home Medical Future Earnings and Revenue Growth

Assumptions

• Analysts are assuming Quipt Home Medical's revenue will grow by 8.1% 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 -4.2% to the average CA Healthcare industry of 5.6% in 3 years.
• If Quipt Home Medical's profit margin were to converge on the industry average, you could expect earnings to reach $16.9 million (and earnings per share of $0.38) by about August 2028, up from $-10.1 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 15.2x on those 2028 earnings, up from -8.5x today. This future PE is lower than the current PE for the CA Healthcare industry at 40.6x.
• Analysts expect the number of shares outstanding to grow by 0.82% per year for the next 3 years.
• To value all of this in today's terms, we will use a discount rate of 6.89%, as per the Simply Wall St company report.

Quipt Home Medical Future Earnings Per Share Growth

Risks

• Modest declines in both unique patients served (down to 151,000 from 153,000 YoY) and total setups/deliveries (210,000 vs. 216,000 YoY) suggest potential headwinds to organic growth despite recent stabilization, which could limit future revenue expansion if not reversed.
  
• Revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and EBITDA margin have all declined year-over-year (revenue down 4.1%, adjusted EBITDA down 3.6%, and margin stable or slightly down), indicating ongoing pressures on profitability and suggesting that structural improvements still face external challenges that could impact future earnings.
  
• Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue increased (53.3% in Q3 2025 vs. 50.4% YoY), and rental equipment CapEx is rising (partly due to Philips ventilator recalls), leading to higher operating costs that may compress net margins if not offset by increased efficiencies.
  
• Growth is increasingly dependent on acquisitions and joint ventures; this reliance introduces integration and operational risks, especially in fully realizing projected margin improvements at acquired entities (e.g., Hart Medical), which could dilute earnings and reduce the predictability of results.
  
• Heavy concentration in respiratory care (over 75% of product mix) exposes Quipt to potential sector-specific reimbursement changes, increased regulatory scrutiny, and competitive pressures-including tech-centric or larger national players-that may negatively affect long-term revenue and earnings stability.

• Given the current share price of CA$2.73, the analyst price target of CA$6.6 is 58.6% higher.
