Quarterly earnings results are a good time to check in on a company’s progress, especially compared to its peers in the same sector. Today we are looking at CONMED (NYSECNMD) and the best and worst performers in the surgical equipment & consumables - diversified industry.
Shares of healthcare solutions provider Solventum (NYSESOLV)
fell 6.5% in the morning session after the company reported weak fourth quarter results: its full-year EPS guidance missed. On the other hand, Solventum narrowly topped analysts' organic revenue expectations, with organic sales rising 2.3% year-on-year, led by growth in its MedSurg and Dental Solutions segments. Looking ahead, the company expects 1% to 2% organic revenue growth in 2025 but will update its guidance following the sale of its Purification & Filtration segment. Overall, we think this was a mixed quarter. The areas below expectations seem to be driving the move.
