Our Take on Masimo

Masimo exited the second quarter of 2025 with better-than-expected results. The solid top and bottom-line performances and uptick in Healthcare revenues were encouraging. The continued strength in the consumable and service revenues looked promising. The expansion of both margins bodes well for the stock.

On the earnings call, management shared that Masimo is currently working toward mitigating the tariff impact. This raises our optimism.

On the flip side, lower capital equipment and other revenues were disappointing.
