InMode Future Earnings and Revenue Growth

Assumptions

• Analysts are assuming InMode's revenue will grow by 4.1% annually over the next 3 years.
• Analysts assume that profit margins will increase from 36.3% today to 38.3% in 3 years time.
• Analysts expect earnings to reach $183.4 million (and earnings per share of $2.33) by about December 2027, up from $153.7 million today. However, there is a considerable amount of disagreement amongst the analysts with the most bullish expecting $215 million in earnings, and the most bearish expecting $149.6 million.
• In order for the above numbers to justify the analysts price target, the company would need to trade at a PE ratio of 11.2x on those 2027 earnings, up from 9.8x today. This future PE is lower than the current PE for the US Medical Equipment industry at 36.0x.
• Analysts expect the number of shares outstanding to decline by 2.42% per year for the next 3 years.
• To value all of this in today's terms, we will use a discount rate of 7.42%, as per the Simply Wall St company report.

InMode Future Earnings Per Share Growth

Risks

• The decrease in minimally invasive treatment demand and platform sales, leading to lower-than-expected sales and a revised full-year guidance, may negatively affect InMode's revenue growth.
  
• Continued macroeconomic headwinds, particularly high interest rates affecting leasing packages, pose a risk of prolonged slow growth in key markets, potentially impacting both revenue and earnings.
  
• Management changes and restructuring in various regions, such as the U.S., U.K., Spain, and France, could disrupt operations and potentially increase operating expenses, affecting net margins.
  
• Challenges in maintaining high gross margins due to increased costs from factors like overtime and higher transportation costs, alongside constraints from the ongoing situation in Israel, could affect profitability.
  
• The increasing competitive landscape and the shift in pricing strategies may pressure InMode to maintain volume over value, potentially affecting revenue stability and market positioning.

Valuation

• The analysts have a consensus price target of $21.33 for InMode based on their expectations of its future earnings growth, profit margins and other risk factors. However, there is a degree of disagreement amongst analysts, with the most bullish reporting a price target of $27.0, and the most bearish reporting a price target of just $17.0.
• In order for you to agree with the analyst's consensus, you'd need to believe that by 2027, revenues will be $478.5 million, earnings will come to $183.4 million, and it would be trading on a PE ratio of 11.2x, assuming you use a discount rate of 7.4%.
• Given the current share price of $17.83, the analyst's price target of $21.33 is 16.4% higher.
• We always encourage you to reach your own conclusions though. So sense check these analyst numbers against your own assumptions and expectations based on your understanding of the business and what you believe is probable.
