Globus Medical Future Earnings and Revenue Growth

Assumptions

• Analysts are assuming Globus Medical's revenue will grow by 6.7% annually over the next 3 years.
• Analysts assume that profit margins will increase from 4.1% today to 19.4% in 3 years time.
• Analysts expect earnings to reach $593.9 million (and earnings per share of $4.23) by about March 2028, up from $103.0 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 29.2x on those 2028 earnings, down from 95.6x today. This future PE is greater than the current PE for the US Medical Equipment industry at 28.7x.
• Analysts expect the number of shares outstanding to grow by 1.84% per year for the next 3 years.
• To value all of this in today's terms, we will use a discount rate of 6.87%, as per the Simply Wall St company report.

Globus Medical Future Earnings Per Share Growth

Risks

• The acquisition of Nevro, while expanding market reach, could strain resources or fail to integrate smoothly, potentially affecting net margins and earnings growth.
  
• The combined Globus and NuVasive product offering has not yet been fully leveraged internationally, which could mean potential revenue underperformance if integration and execution do not accelerate.
  
• Temporary supply chain disruptions in the trauma and orthopedic segment were noted, indicating potential risks to revenue consistency and profitability if not resolved swiftly.
  
• Foreign currency fluctuations have already had a negative impact on non-GAAP EPS and adjusted EBITDA, posing a continued risk to earnings if adverse currency movements persist.
  
• In-sourcing efforts for NuVasive's higher-cost products have not been fully realized, which may delay anticipated cost savings and affect gross margins improvement efforts in the short term.

Valuation

• The analysts have a consensus price target of $98.077 for Globus Medical 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 $115.0, and the most bearish reporting a price target of just $82.0.
• In order for you to agree with the analyst's consensus, you'd need to believe that by 2028, revenues will be $3.1 billion, earnings will come to $593.9 million, and it would be trading on a PE ratio of 29.2x, assuming you use a discount rate of 6.9%.
• Given the current share price of $71.59, the analyst price target of $98.08 is 27.0% 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.
