$RMD is a manufacturer of sleep therapy devices & accessories. Especially for the treatment of sleep apnea (breathing pauses during sleep). Untreated sleep apnea can lead to long-term secondary diseases such as high blood pressure and cardiac rhythm disorders, and thus to premature death.


But don't panic, basically almost everyone has breathing pauses during sleep, with up to 5 per hour being a "normal value". Values above that are in need of therapy, especially from ~15 pauses per hour, before that it is more likely to be weighed up depending on the complaint.


Due to the increasing obesity in the world, which usually aggravates sleep apnea, there's basically unlimited potential for increase on the side of the customer.


So why now necessarily $RMD for the portfolio? Because the company has a virtual monopoly in the industry. The biggest competitors are Löwenstein, a German GmbH & Co. KG, and Philips, for whom this is more of a side business. I'm not completely familiar with the global situation, but in Germany, for example, there are primarily contracts with Löwenstein and ResMed.


There are many other smaller manufacturers, but they play virtually no role in the network of therapy centers, health insurance companies, etc., so that ResMed can be considered a virtual monopoly on the stock market and should actually be a must-have stock for every portfolio, regardless of classic valuation criteria.

It may well be an interesting company. But don't let the market leader story blind you. Shortly after the turn of the millennium, every company on the stock exchange was the global market leader in some segment... The rest is history...

@GHF "Story" as if it were a "fairy tale" 😅 The company has been around for a good 30 years and they basically got the therapy options rolling worldwide, plus analysis software for clinics and sleep labs etc pp. The results for therapy users are now even presented in gamified form. Points for, among other things, duration of use, mask fit/tightness, events per hour and mask removal. Even if another big player wanted to "develop" into this market, it would hardly stand a chance. The probability that someone will specialize in this area alone in the next few years is low and that it will become a serious competitor and a listed company is even lower. ResMed is a safe horse for the journey. Google, Netflix, Amazon, Apple are already failing to establish a foothold in the gaming industry and that is a much easier undertaking than gaining a foothold in a specialized field like this.

@j1mbo not so sensitive! I was just gently pointing out that many companies saw their share prices plummet during the two crashes at the start of the millennium, even though they were market leaders and had good products. You need more for a consistently good share price performance. You have to decide for yourself whether ResMed , which is not cheaply valued, is one of them.
