RBC Capital has raised its price target on ResMed Inc. (NYSE: RMD) to $314 from $311 and kept an Outperform rating after the company reported quarterly results that slightly beat both RBC and consensus estimates. The firm pointed to broad market growth, gross margin improvement and operating leverage as drivers behind small forecast increases and the higher target. Other analysts also reacted positively to ResMed's Q2 fiscal 2026 results, with KeyBanc lifting its target and Needham noting accelerating organic revenue growth.

Key Points

  • RBC Capital raised its price target on ResMed to $314 from $311 and kept an Outperform rating.
  • RBC cited double-digit revenue and earnings growth, broad market strength, gross margin improvement and operating leverage as reasons for the modest target increase.
  • ResMed reported Q2 fiscal 2026 EPS of $2.81 (vs. $2.73 consensus) and revenue of $1.4 billion, matching expectations; KeyBanc and Needham also adjusted ratings or commentary following the results.

RBC Capital raised its price target for ResMed (NYSE:RMD) to $314.00 from $311.00 and retained an Outperform rating on the medical equipment company.

The incremental adjustment follows what RBC described as a "strong result featuring double digit revenue and earnings growth" that slightly exceeded both RBC's own estimates and consensus expectations. In its note, the firm highlighted that ResMed generated robust growth across all markets while continuing to achieve gross margin improvement and operating leverage.

RBC said it implemented modest increases to its forecasts, and those tweaks contributed to the uptick in the price target from $311 to $314. The firm continued to rate the stock Outperform, pointing to the company's earnings outlook, what it called an undemanding valuation and the total shareholder return implied by the new price target.


Additional analyst reactions accompanied ResMed's second-quarter fiscal 2026 financial disclosure. The company reported earnings per share of $2.81 for the quarter, topping analysts' forecast of $2.73 by 2.93%. ResMed also posted revenue of $1.4 billion, which matched consensus revenue expectations.

Following those results, KeyBanc Capital Markets raised its price target on ResMed to $302 from $299 while maintaining an Overweight rating, characterizing the financial results as largely positive. Needham maintained its Hold rating and drew attention to ResMed's improved organic revenue growth, which rose to 8% in the second quarter from 7% in the first quarter. Needham noted that this figure reverses a trend of slowing organic growth observed over the prior three quarters.

Taken together, the company results and subsequent analyst notes underscore ResMed's recent financial performance and how sell-side firms are positioning the stock based on those outcomes.

Risks

  • Analyst forecasts remain subject to change - RBC's modest forecast increases and the resulting price target bump reflect current estimates and could be revised if future results deviate (impacts equity and healthcare sectors).
  • Organic revenue growth trends may shift - Needham's comment that Q2 marked a reversal of recent slowing suggests potential variability in top-line momentum (impacts medical device and broader healthcare markets).
  • Valuation and return expectations are based on current price targets - if market conditions or company performance change, implied total shareholder returns could be altered (impacts investors in the stock and healthcare-focused portfolios).
