Medtronic Stock Analysis
Like my Coca-Cola stock analysis I was surprised when I looked back through my stock analysis archives that I had never posted about Medtronic (MDT). I had actually gone through the full analysis back in June of this year but couldn't find my post so I"m assuming I ended up getting busy with last minute wedding stuff. Medtronic is another one of the companies that I would love to own a piece of but the price just hasn't been there when my capital was available. Medtronic closed trading on Monday, December 10th at $42.60.
Company Background:Medtronic, Inc. manufactures and sells device-based medical therapies worldwide. It provides products for the diagnosis, treatment, and management of heart rhythm disorders and heart failure, including implantable cardiac pacemakers, implantable cardioverter defibrillators, cardiac resynchronization therapy devices, arctic front cardiac cryoablation catheters, arctic front cardiac cryoablation catheters, and patient management tools. The company also offers cardio vascular products, such as percutaneous coronary intervention device, which is used for the treatment of patients with coronary artery disease; renal denervation for the treatment of chronic uncontrolled hypertension; endovascular stent grafts to treat abdomen and thoracic regions of the aorta; peripheral vascular intervention that encompasses various procedures to treat patients with peripheral vascular disease; surgical valve replacement and repair products for damaged or diseased heart valves; transcatheter heart valves; a line of blood-handling products used in arrested heart surgeries; positioning and stabilization technologies that assist physicians performing beating heart surgery; and surgical ablation system, which allows cardiac surgeons to create ablation lines during cardiac surgery. In addition, it provides medical devices and implants that are used in the treatment of the spine and musculoskeletal system comprising thoracolumbar, cervical, and biologics products; neurostimulators for chronic pain, implantable drug delivery systems, and deep brain stimulation systems, as well as urology, fecal, and gastroenterology devices; and integrated diabetes management solutions. Further, the company offers products and therapies to treat diseases and conditions of the ear, nose, and throat, as well as certain neurological disorders; and image-guided surgery and intra-operative imaging systems.
DCF Valuation:Analysts expect Medtronic to grow earnings 5.21% per year for the next five years and I've assumed they can continue to grow at 3.50% per year thereafter, right around the long term inflation rate. Running these numbers through a two stage DCF analysis with a 10% discount rate yields a fair value price of $59.83. This means that at $42.60 the shares are undervalued by 28.8%.
