Market context

Why it moved

ResMed shares declined as investors remain cautious amid weak near-term sentiment, with the stock still trading significantly below its recent peak despite the Noctrix acquisition, and broader market pressure from tech weakness weighing on sentiment.

What is happening

Recent company-specific developments and publisher coverage.

July 17, 2026ResMed shares are declining amid a fresh analyst downgrade from RBC Capital, which cut its rating to Sector Perform from Outperform and slashed its price target to $234 from $276, citing FY27 headwinds including disruption from replacing its Astral ventilators, higher cost of goods, and supply constraints on component parts. The move adds to ongoing pressure on the stock from persistent GLP-1 drug concerns and a broader weak session for the healthcare sector, with XLV trading sharply lower as the S&P 500 also pulls back amid tech-led selling and U.S.-Iran geopolitical tensions.

-1.8125

July 17, 2026ResMed shares gained despite a wave of analyst downgrades, as a broader healthcare sector rally—fueled by UnitedHealth Group's strong Q2 earnings beat and raised guidance—lifted sentiment across medical device names. RBC Capital downgraded ResMed to Sector Perform from Outperform, cutting its price target to $234 from $276, citing FY27 headwinds including Astral ventilator replacement impacts, higher cost of goods, and supply constraints. This follows a similar Citigroup downgrade to Neutral last week with a $235 target, and Mizuho also trimming its target to $220 while maintaining Outperform. Despite the analyst caution, ResMed closed higher, outperforming the healthcare sector ETF (XLV).

2.1101

July 15, 2026ResMed closed up nearly 3% during the regular session, outperforming the broader healthcare sector (XLV essentially flat), though shares are pulling back roughly 2% in after-hours trading. The session's gains came amid a backdrop of mixed analyst sentiment: Mizuho maintained its Outperform rating but lowered its price target to $220 from $235, while Citigroup downgraded the stock to Neutral earlier this week, cutting its target to $235 from $270, citing concern over portfolio changes including the MatrixCare divestiture and GLP-1 headwinds. Despite the analyst pressure, ResMed's defensive profile in sleep and respiratory care, alongside UBS's upgrade of the broader healthcare sector as a key allocation target, helped support investor interest.

2.8807

July 15, 2026ResMed shares fell nearly 3% in above-average volume, underperforming both the broader market and the healthcare sector ETF (XLV), weighed down by a Citigroup downgrade to Neutral with a lowered price target of $235 and a separate Baird price target cut to $217. The analyst pressure comes amid sector-wide headwinds, including a challenging Q2 earnings backdrop for healthcare, geopolitical-driven inflation risks from Strait of Hormuz disruptions, and investor scrutiny over GLP-1 therapy impacts on sleep-device demand and the company's portfolio reshaping following its MatrixCare divestiture.

-2.7657

July 14, 2026ResMed fell roughly 2.6%, underperforming the broader healthcare sector (XLV closed modestly lower), as Citigroup downgraded the stock to Neutral from Buy and slashed its price target to $235 from $270, citing concerns around GLP-1 therapy headwinds, potential pricing pressure, and the $490M MatrixCare divestiture. The selloff was compounded by a risk-off session driven by renewed U.S.-Iran military tensions that sent oil prices surging and weighed on equities broadly, while rising short interest — up ~17% in June to 10.48% of the float — signals growing bearish conviction ahead of Q2 earnings.

-2.634

July 11, 2026ResMed fell after Jefferies lowered its price target to $225 from $240 (maintaining Hold), compounding pressure from the prior session's 6.3% drop tied to the company's announced divestiture of its MatrixCare business to private equity firm Frazier Healthcare Partners. While the sale is designed to sharpen ResMed's focus on its core sleep, breathing, and connected home-care strategy, investors appear cautious ahead of Q4 2026 earnings, with the stock rebounding modestly in after-hours trade. The healthcare sector ETF (XLV) also closed lower on the day.

-2.1972

July 10, 2026ResMed edged higher, outperforming the broader healthcare sector (XLV) and S&P 500, as investors continued to digest the company's strategic portfolio reset. ResMed announced the $490 million cash sale of its MatrixCare software unit to Frazier Healthcare Partners, a move analysts at William Blair view as divesting an underperforming asset that had weighed on growth durability concerns—even if near-term EPS dilution is expected. With Q4 FY2026 results scheduled for August 6 and a median analyst price target of $268, the stock remains well below consensus estimates, keeping value-focused investors engaged.

1.268

July 9, 2026ResMed tumbled after announcing the $490M all-cash sale of its MatrixCare software business to Frazier Healthcare Partners — a deal analysts flagged as cheap, at roughly 8.4x EBITDA versus the ~25x multiple paid at acquisition in 2018. RBC Capital maintained its Outperform rating but slashed its price target from $321 to $276, citing concerns the low exit multiple raises questions about AI disruption risk to ResMed's broader software business. The selloff was compounded by a macro risk-off session as President Trump declared the U.S.-Iran ceasefire 'over,' sending oil surging 5%+ and pressuring equities broadly.
