WHY does this stock have a 1.6 quality rating in Take Stock? I looked at the data sheet here and didn't see problems. The price is high to me, but a club member is interested in RMD.
RMD ResMed, Inc. 44.25 N/A 1.60

Hi Etana,
By looking at the Take Stock "Summary", it says it doesn't like RMD because of the following reasons:
# Earnings growth is unpredictable.
# Earnings have grown historically at only -26.54%.
# Recent sales growth has been 14.80%.
# Recent earnings growth has been only -32.00%.
# Profit margins are trailing down indicating that management may not to be able to control costs.
# Return on Equity is weak.
# The stock is " hot" and investors are paying a premium. (HVR - TSSW Back)
# It is impossible to calculate a buy price for this company.
If there are valid reasons for these trends (an aquisition, some other 1 time thing[s], or something that you think they will rebound from), then maybe you'd want to study it further.
In looking more closely and comparing data from BI data service and SC data, i note that using BI data one might think differently, as they have vastly different 2007 PTP and EPS data for RMD. Our data appears to match reuters in this regard, BI's does not. In BI Take Stock it is still only a 2.6. |
