Medical Devices, equal-weighted, based at 200 S&P 500, same base, same start trailing 12-month earnings per share rising falling

Both lines start at 200 in the same week, so the distance between them is the whole story: the industry line is an equal-weighted index of its 71 companies. The bars underneath are trailing 12-month earnings per share, one bar per reported quarter, each member rebased to 100 at the start and the industry taking the median — so a price line pulling away from flat bars is a re-rating, not earnings. A bar turns red when that figure is lower than the quarter before. Rules are fixed and applied identically everywhere on this site: ahead by 5% or more over three months, or behind by 20% or more over a year while earnings grew 20% or more. Hover any point to read both values and the gap. This is a description of what the numbers did, not advice.

02 · sector relative strength, before individual stocks

Is Medical Devices outperforming S&P 500?

Medical Devices has outperformed S&P 500 by 12.5% over the last 52 weeks. Over 13 weeks the gap is a lead of 17.9%. 13 of 29 covered companies currently beat the S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength, so leadership inside the sector is selective. Butterfly Network, Inc. is the strongest against the sector itself at +88.6%.

The central tension: the companies with the most scale are not necessarily the companies creating the most change.

Start with scale. Then earnings trajectory. Then business quality. Only after those three agree should price leadership carry much weight.

Bottom line

Medical Devices has outperformed S&P 500 by 12.5% over 52 weeks and 17.9% over 13 weeks. 13 of 29 covered companies beat the S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength, while 11 of 29 beat the sector itself. Abbott Laboratories leads with revenue of $46,585 million, based on 15 of 30 comparable companies through Jun 2026.

4-Factor Sector Score

An additive sector-relative research score. The four displayed point contributions always equal the total: Growth & earnings (35), Capital efficiency (25), Valuation (20), and Relative strength (20). Missing or stale evidence is absorbed inside the affected factor, never applied as a hidden adjustment.

Growth & earnings · 35%Capital efficiency · 25%Valuation · 20%Relative strength · 20%
DexCom, Inc. has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 57.8% evidence confidence.
Haemonetics Corporation looks inexpensive relative to peers or its own history, but its earnings trajectory has not yet earned the valuation signal.
UFP Technologies, Inc. has stronger price confirmation than earnings confirmation; that is a research prompt, not permission to chase.
How this score is built, and what the marks mean

Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. PEG is not shown when the ratio cannot mean anything: the company must be making a profit, its price-to-earnings must be positive, and its three-year earnings growth must fall between 5% and 60%. Dividing a price multiple by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, produces a number that looks precise and tells you nothing. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step curve the sector itself is placed on — basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep — read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is widening or shrinking. It describes where the PRICE stands, not the earnings trajectory and not a recommendation, and it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read.

Market action

Butterfly Network, Inc. has the strongest one-year price move in Medical Devices at +562.4%. It also leads on Mansfield relative strength against the S&P 500 at +99.8%. 13 of 29 covered companies are above zero on that measure. Every line covers 314 weekly closes through 2026-08-04.

Price and relative strength

Every company, the sector's own index and S&P 500 all start level on the left edge of the window, so only the distance between the lines counts — the highest line has risen the most since then, and the chart at the top of this page is drawn the same way. It opens on one year; the buttons beside it stretch that to three or five.

Revenue Scale & Growth Durability

Abbott Laboratories has the highest Revenue among the 30 Medical Devices companies compared here, at $46,585 million. Medtronic plc is next at $36,363 million. Establishment Labs Holdings Inc. has the highest Revenue growth at 35.3%, so level and change sit with different companies. 15 of 30 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Jun 2026.

What the numbers say: Abbott Laboratories is the scale leader at $46,585 million, 28.1% ahead of Medtronic plc. Establishment Labs Holdings Inc.'s growth is 35.3% from a $230 million base, with 19 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale.

LeaderAbbott Laboratories · $46,585 million
Gap28.1% versus #2 · Medtronic plc
Persistence8/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage15/30 companies · 559 observations

Investor read: Abbott Laboratories is the scale benchmark; Establishment Labs Holdings Inc. is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns.

This conclusion weakens if: Abbott Laboratories's growth falls below Establishment Labs Holdings Inc.'s for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses.

Revenue is compared on a common reported-currency basis. Growth is year-on-year, so seasonality does not masquerade as progress.

Investor read: Edwards Lifesciences Corporation sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current margin change signal.

LeaderAbbott Laboratories · $5,425 million
Gap12.2% versus #2 · Medtronic plc
Persistence4/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage15/30 companies · 559 observations

Investor read: Abbott Laboratories sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current profit growth signal.

Net profit is the residual after operating costs, interest and tax. Growth off a loss or near-zero base is excluded from the fastest-grower rank.

Return On Capital Employed

Edwards Lifesciences Corporation has the highest ROCE among the 30 Medical Devices companies compared here, at 8.5%. DexCom, Inc. is next at 7.8%. LivaNova PLC has the highest ROCE change at +18.1 percentage points, so level and change sit with different companies. 30 of 30 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Jun 2026.

What the numbers say: Edwards Lifesciences Corporation leads ROCE at 8.5%, 0.7 percentage points above DexCom, Inc.. LivaNova PLC has the strongest latest improvement at +18.1 percentage points. Read the leader beside the density of its reported history: a sparse high return is a candidate; a repeated high return is evidence of durability.

Investor read: Edwards Lifesciences Corporation sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it.

ROCE asks how much operating return the business earns on the capital employed. Direction matters, but a single exceptional year should not be mistaken for durability.

Valuation Against Growth & Quality

Haemonetics Corporation has the lowest PEG among the 30 Medical Devices companies compared here, at 0.52×. Globus Medical, Inc. is next at 0.85×. Inspire Medical Systems, Inc. has the lowest P/E at 11.5×, so level and change sit with different companies. 8 of 30 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.

What the numbers say: Haemonetics Corporation has the lowest comparable PEG at 0.52×, 38.8% below Globus Medical, Inc.. Only 8 of 30 companies have earnings and growth steady enough for the ratio to mean anything, so no broad “cheapest stock” conclusion is defensible unless the current multiple, own-history position and growth durability agree.

Gap38.8% versus #2 · Globus Medical, Inc.
Persistence0/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage8/30 companies · 69 observations

Investor read: Treat valuation as permission to investigate, never as a standalone reason to buy.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current p/e signal.

PEG is shown only when earnings are positive and three-year EPS growth is between 5% and 60%. It is recomputed consistently as the trailing P/E divided by that growth rate — reported earnings, never an expected-earnings multiple. On Indian companies it is shown only where the two data feeds agreed. Where any of that fails the ratio is left out rather than printed: a P/E divided by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, is a number that looks precise and means nothing.

What can make this comparison misleading?

This Medical Devices comparison names 5 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. 1 of the 30 companies reports on an older date than the sector's freshest reporters, so its rank is marked stale. A high growth rate can still be a low-base artefact.

Keep these limits visible

  • A high growth rate can be a low-base artefact. The page keeps level and change separate for that reason.
  • A high ROCE can be temporary or flattered by a small capital base. Read it beside margin, cash conversion and reinvestment.
  • The 4-Factor Sector Score ranks research priority, not portfolio action. Management quality, catalysts and risks need equally fresh evidence before capital is deployed.
  • An “all companies” line chart preserves completeness, but rank changes should be checked against reporting dates before drawing a conclusion.
  • 1 company has an older fundamental reporting date than the sector’s freshest reporters; its rank carries a stale marker.

How was this comparison built?

This comparison is built from the reported filings of 30 Medical Devices companies, normalized to a common $ scale and a shared quarter axis of up to 20 quarters each. Fundamentals run through Jun 2026 and market data through 2026-08-04. A second data feed fills gaps only after identity and scale reconciliation, and missing observations are never interpolated.

Medical Devices company comparison FAQs

These 22 answers restate the Medical Devices comparison above in question form. Every one is computed from the same 30 companies and the same reported filings as the rankings and charts, current through Jun 2026. Price and relative-strength answers run through 2026-08-04. Nothing here is estimated, and none of it is a recommendation.

Is the Medical Devices sector outperforming S&P 500?

Medical Devices has outperformed S&P 500 by 12.5% over 52 weeks and 17.9% over 13 weeks. 13 of 29 covered companies beat the S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength, while 11 of 29 beat the sector itself.

Which Medical Devices company is largest by revenue?

Abbott Laboratories leads with revenue of $46,585 million, based on 15 of 30 comparable companies through Jun 2026.

Which Medical Devices company is growing fastest?

Establishment Labs Holdings Inc. has the fastest current revenue growth at 35.3%, across 15 of 30 comparable companies.

Which Medical Devices company has the strongest 4-Factor Sector Score?

DexCom, Inc. ranks first at 66.1/100 with 57.8% evidence confidence. The score prioritizes research; it is not a buy recommendation.

Which Medical Devices company has the lowest comparable PEG?

Haemonetics Corporation has the lowest comparable PEG at 0.52, among 8 of 30 companies whose earnings and growth are steady enough for the ratio to mean anything.

How much history does this Medical Devices comparison include?

The page compares up to 20 reported quarters per company for fundamentals, returns and valuation, ending Jun 2026. Missing observations remain blank rather than being estimated.

How is the 4-Factor Sector Score calculated?

The four visible contributions add directly: growth and earnings up to 35 points, capital efficiency up to 25, valuation up to 20, and relative strength up to 20. Missing or stale evidence moves only the affected contribution toward neutral.

Which Medical Devices company is the biggest?

Abbott Laboratories is the largest, with trailing-twelve-month revenue of $46,585 million, ahead of Medtronic plc at $36,363 million. That covers 15 of 30 companies with comparable reporting through Jun 2026.

Which Medical Devices company has the best profit margins?

Edwards Lifesciences Corporation has the highest operating margin at 29%, from 29 of 30 comparable companies. LivaNova PLC shows the biggest recent improvement, at +109.8 percentage points. A high margin matters most when it is holding or rising, not when it is peaking.

Which Medical Devices company makes the most profit?

Abbott Laboratories earns the most, at $5,425 million of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 15 of 30 comparable companies. Globus Medical, Inc. has the fastest profit growth at 100%, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed.

Which Medical Devices company earns the highest return on capital?

Edwards Lifesciences Corporation leads on return on capital employed at 8.5%, across 30 of 30 companies. Read it beside the length of its reported history: a high return that repeats for years is evidence of a durable business, while a single high reading can be a small capital base or one good year.

Which Medical Devices stock is the cheapest?

On PEG — where a LOWER number is cheaper — Haemonetics Corporation screens cheapest at 0.52×. Only 8 of 30 companies have earnings and growth steady enough for the ratio to mean anything, so this is not a sector-wide "cheapest stock" verdict. Cheap on a multiple is a reason to investigate, never a reason to buy on its own.

Is the Medical Devices sector beating the market?

Medical Devices has outperformed S&P 500 by 12.5% over the last 52 weeks and 17.9% over 13 weeks, measured on an equal-weight index of its current members. Inside the sector, 13 of 29 covered companies are beating the market on their own. Sector strength does not transfer evenly to every stock in it.

Which Medical Devices stock has the strongest price momentum?

Butterfly Network, Inc. has the strongest relative strength against S&P 500. Relative strength answers last, after growth, quality and valuation: price can move well before the fundamentals confirm it, and sometimes without them confirming at all.

Which Medical Devices company scores highest for research priority?

DexCom, Inc. scores 66.1 out of 100 with 57.8% evidence confidence, from 22.9 points on growth and earnings, 16.8 on capital efficiency, 9.9 on valuation and 16.5 on relative strength. This ranks what deserves work next. It is not a buy recommendation, and management quality, catalysts and risk still need separate research.

How many Medical Devices companies does this comparison cover, and over what period?

It compares 30 listed companies over up to 20 reported quarters of fundamentals, ending Jun 2026, plus weekly price and relative-strength history. Membership is the full sector list — nothing is dropped for having thin data.

What is the total market cap of the Medical Devices sector?

The 30 Medical Devices companies on this page carry $788,749 million of combined market value. Abbott Laboratories is the largest at $182,486 million, about 23% of the sector's total on its own. Market value moves with price, so this reading is dated 2026-08-04.

What is the Medical Devices sector's P/E ratio?

The median price-to-earnings ratio across the 30 Medical Devices companies on this page is 26.6×, measured on the 24 that report a comparable figure. A sector-level history for this multiple is not held here, so this is a cross-section of today, not a comparison with the sector’s own past. Figures are as of 2026-08-04.

How is the Medical Devices sector performing?

13 of the 29 covered Medical Devices companies are beating S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength. The sector itself is 12.5% ahead of S&P 500 over 52 weeks on an equal-weight index of its current members. Readings are as of 2026-08-04.

How many Medical Devices stocks are listed in the US?

This comparison covers 30 listed Medical Devices companies in the US, each above the size floor the site applies. The full ranked list is on this page, with reported fundamentals through Jun 2026. Membership is the full industry list — nothing is dropped for having thin data.

Why are some values on this page blank?

A blank means that company did not report a comparable figure for that period, so nothing is shown. Missing observations are never interpolated, carried forward, or replaced with a similar-looking accounting line, and a company with missing evidence has its research score pulled toward neutral rather than being scored as bad.

Is this investment advice?

No. Every figure here is a deterministic calculation from reported company filings and market data, published for research. It contains no recommendation to buy or sell any security, does not account for your circumstances, and is not a substitute for advice from a licensed adviser.
