Sanara MedTech Future Earnings and Revenue Growth

Assumptions

• Analysts are assuming Sanara MedTech's revenue will grow by 13.2% annually over the next 3 years.
• Analysts are not forecasting that Sanara MedTech will become profitable in next 3 years. To represent the Analyst Price Target as a Future PE Valuation we will estimate Sanara MedTech's profit margin will increase from -11.2% to the average US Medical Equipment industry of 12.9% in 3 years.
• If Sanara MedTech's profit margin were to converge on the industry average, you could expect earnings to reach $16.2 million (and earnings per share of $1.8) by about May 2028, up from $-9.7 million today. The analysts are largely in agreement about this estimate.
• In order for the above numbers to justify the analysts price target, the company would need to trade at a PE ratio of 33.1x on those 2028 earnings, up from -29.6x today. This future PE is greater than the current PE for the US Medical Equipment industry at 31.6x.
• Analysts expect the number of shares outstanding to grow by 3.21% per year for the next 3 years.
• To value all of this in today's terms, we will use a discount rate of 7.14%, as per the Simply Wall St company report.

Risks

• The Tissue Health Plus segment, despite being a future growth driver, continues to incur investment and operating losses, negatively impacting net margins and earnings.
  
• The requirement for significant future investments in the Tissue Health Plus segment, ranging from $7.5 million to $10 million in the first half of 2025, could strain financial resources and limit cash flow available for other operations, impacting net margins.
  
• Dependence on future regulatory clearance for the pivotal OsStic product by 2027 introduces uncertainty and delays in revenue generation from this innovation, potentially affecting future revenue streams.
  
• Interest expenses related to increased debt obligations and reliance on financial partners to support the THP strategy may elevate financial risk and pressure earnings.
  
• Potential execution risks associated with the commercialization of new products and expansion into new markets could hinder expected revenue growth.
