NasdaqGM:IRMD Earnings and Revenue Growth February 16th 2025

Taking into account the latest results, the current consensus from IRADIMED's dual analysts is for revenues of US$79.4m in 2025. This would reflect a meaningful 8.4% increase on its revenue over the past 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are predicted to accumulate 5.8% to US$1.61. Yet prior to the latest earnings, the analysts had been anticipated revenues of US$80.7m and earnings per share (EPS) of US$1.61 in 2025. So it's pretty clear that, although the analysts have updated their estimates, there's been no major change in expectations for the business following the latest results.

These estimates are interesting, but it can be useful to paint some more broad strokes when seeing how forecasts compare, both to the IRADIMED's past performance and to peers in the same industry. We would highlight that IRADIMED's revenue growth is expected to slow, with the forecast 8.4% annualised growth rate until the end of 2025 being well below the historical 17% p.a. growth over the last five years. Juxtapose this against the other companies in the industry with analyst coverage, which are forecast to grow their revenues (in aggregate) 7.9% annually. Factoring in the forecast slowdown in growth, it looks like IRADIMED is forecast to grow at about the same rate as the wider industry.

Happily, there were no real changes to revenue forecasts, with the business still expected to grow in line with the overall industry. There was also a nice increase in the price target, with the analysts clearly feeling that the intrinsic value of the business is improving.
