Top 2 Health Care Stocks That Are Ticking Portfolio Bombs

In the current market session, Masimo Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MASI#NASDAQ">MASI</a>) stock price is at $131.50, after a 1.37% drop. However, over the past month, the company's stock increased by 17.92%, and in the past year, by 62.48%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is not performing up to par in the current session.

<h3>Evaluating Masimo P/E in Comparison to Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 299.87 in the Health Care Equipment &amp; Supplies industry, Masimo Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 90.74. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1727812840_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

Appoints Michelle Brennan as Interim CEO Following Joe Kiani's Decision to Resign
Continues to Be Committed to Review of Strategic Alternatives for Consumer Businesses, With Assistance From Leading Financial and Legal Advisors

After being elected by shareholders at the recent Annual Meeting, Darlene Solomon and Bill Jellison have been officially appointed to the Board. These changes are all effective immediately.
The Board has retained nationally recognized search firm Korn Ferry to assist in CEO succession planning.
Ms. Brennan was elected to the Board in 2023, and previously served as a senior executive at Johnson &amp; Johnson ("J&amp;J") for more than 30 years, where she oversaw medical device businesses globally as well as consumer pharmaceutical businesses. At J&amp;J, Michelle successfully scaled multiple businesses to achieve market-leading growth and led efforts to invest in innovation that resulted in successful new product launches.
Ms. Brennan commented:
"I am grateful for the trust of the Board and excited by the opportunity to help Masimo continue to grow and lead as an innovation-focused company. As we go through this transition, the Board and management team are excited to learn from and work with our employees, while focusing on ensuring seamless service and support for our customers."

Masimo Provides Leadership And Business Updates; Appoints Michelle Brennan As Interim CEO Following Joe Kiani's Decision To Resign, Reaffirms Financial Guidance For Q3 2024

Masimo (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/masi#NASDAQ">MASI</a>) shares soared 8.7% in the last trading session to close at $121.42. The move was backed by solid volume with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This compares to the stock&#39;s 8.5% loss over the past four weeks.
The sharp upsurge in Masimo&#39;s shares can be attributed to the surprising news regarding the company&#39;s newly elected Board of Directors. On Sept. 19, per a public statement issued from Politan, activist investor Quentin Koffey, and his Politan Capital Management group&#39;s proposed candidates, both won election to the two available Board seats of Masimo. This guarantees that the new independent directors now have a control of the Board. On Sept. 20, the share price of MASI surged as the investors continued to celebrate the news in a positive view that the new Board is likely to be more conscious of and responsive to the investors.
This medical technology company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.84 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +33.3%. Revenues are expected to be $501.93 million, up 4.8% from the year-ago quarter.
While earnings and revenue growth expectations are important in evaluating the potential strength in a stock, empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.
For Masimo, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. And a stock&#39;s price usually doesn&#39;t keep moving higher in the absence of any trend in earnings estimate revisions. So, make sure to keep an eye on MASI going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
The stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
Masimo is part of the Zacks Medical - Instruments industry. CVRx (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cvrx#NASDAQ">CVRX</a>), another stock in the same industry, closed the last trading session 1.5% lower at $9.11. CVRX has returned 10.9% in the past month.
For CVRx, the consensus EPS estimate for the upcoming report has remained unchanged over the past month at -$0.45. This represents a change of -4.7% from what the company reported a year ago. CVRx currently has a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold).

Control of Masimo Depends on September 19 Vote – Stockholders Urged to Vote "FOR" Only Masimo's Director Nominees, Joe Kiani and Christopher Chavez, on the Updated GOLD Proxy Card
Masimo Corporation ("Masimo" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MASI#NASDAQ">MASI</a>), a global leader in noninvasive monitoring technologies and audio products, today set the record straight in response to Politan Capital Management LP ("Politan") and Quentin Koffey's preemptive press release regarding an order from the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California that is still under seal.
Masimo's lawsuit forced Politan to issue several new disclosures, including on the morning of the hearing, to correct its false and misleading statements and to provide material information Politan previously concealed from Masimo stockholders, ISS and Glass Lewis. These false and misleading statements include:
<ul>
<li>Politan and Quentin Koffey Lied About the Spin-off. Mr. Koffey falsely claimed that the Special Committee had unanimously rejected the term sheet he had previously agreed upon with Mr. Kiani. In fact, Politan's corrective disclosures revealed that Mr. Koffey never shared the agreed upon term sheet with any other member of the Special Committee.</li>
<li>Politan and Quentin Koffey Lied About the Board's Role in the Sale Process. Mr. Koffey falsely claimed that the Board authorized Mr. Kiani to carry out a sale of the Company without further Board oversight. In fact, Politan's corrective disclosures revealed that Mr. Koffey knew this not to be true.</li>
<li>Politan and Quentin Koffey Lied About the Outcome of the Sale Process. Mr. Koffey falsely implied that Mr. Kiani unilaterally rejected offers for Masimo because those offers didn't satisfy Mr. Kiani personally. In fact, Politan's corrective disclosures revealed that Mr. Koffey knew that Masimo had not received or rejected any offers.</li>
</ul>
Masimo issued the following statement:
"Politan and Quentin Koffey have relied on misleading and false statements to distract both stockholders and proxy advisory firms from their lack of a plan or strategy for Masimo. In stark contrast, Masimo has made concrete commitments to usher in changes that stockholders have said they want, including separating our consumer business and expanding the Board with more independent directors. Our recent earnings clearly show that our strategy is working. We urge stockholders not to put this momentum at risk by handing control to an inexperienced team with no strategy or leadership plan for the business, particularly in light of the fact that Mr. Kiani has been clear about his intentions to depart the Company should Politan gain control of the Board. Masimo's COO, Bilal Muhsin, has also declared his intent to resign if Politan gains control of the Board, and more than three hundred other employees, including senior executives, have expressed that they may follow suit."

</ul>
<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/quotes/MASI/">Masimo</a> CEO Joe Kiani, whose medical-technology company is in the midst of a proxy battle with activist Politan, revealed what he called confidential information to a major investor 12 hours before it was released to the public, according to court filings.
The documents, partially unsealed on Friday, are related to ongoing litigation between Politan and Masimo, which makes devices for monitoring the amount of blood in a person's oxygen. Politan is seeking to replace two directors, including Kiani, with its own candidates at a shareholder meeting later this month.
&nbsp;
Included in the latest filing is a March email from Kiani to Dr. Naveen Yalamanchi, a portfolio manager at RTW Investments, informing him about an announcement that was coming the following day. The unsealed documents show other calls and messages between Kiani and employees of RTW, a New York-based firm that focuses on health care.
In addition to taking on Masimo, Politan has accused RTW of a so-called empty voting scheme, or voting its shares in favor of management's slate of directors even though it no longer actually owned the shares underlying its votes.
Other documents unsealed on Friday indicate that Masimo was aware of RTW's efforts. They include communications from Masimo advisors showing that the company was aware RTW was amassing a large position and was supportive of Kiani's leadership.
"As a long term shareholder, I wanted to see what you think of this PR before we put it out," Kiani wrote in an email, titled "Confidential PR and 8K for tomorrow before the market opens."
The filing that was published the next day confirmed activist investor Politan had initiated its second proxy fight and was nominating two board members. Politan has pointed to Masimo's underperformance and Kiani's disastrous acquisition of a consumer business two years ago, and has been pushing the company to explore a spinoff.
&nbsp;
<a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/deals/activist-politan-plans-second-proxy-battle-at-masimo-dc212962">The Wall Street Journal</a> had, the previous week, reported that the second proxy fight was going to be launched.
Masimo is best known for its <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/01/17/apple-again-banned-from-selling-watches-in-us-with-blood-oxygen-sensor.html">litigation</a> with <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/quotes/AAPL/">Apple</a> over the company's use of pulse-oximetry technology in the Apple Watch. Kiani is also a close friend to <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/joe-biden/">President Joe Biden</a> and has donated to his campaigns. One of Kiani's top advisors in the proxy fight is Greg Schultz, who was Biden's campaign manager in 2020.
"Please don't trade on anything until this is out, which is going to go out before the market opens tomorrow morning," Kiani wrote in the email to Yalamanchi. The message included two attachments and a timestamp indicating when the press release would publish.
An SEC rule known as Regulation FD requires that if a company makes information available to certain individuals, including large shareholders, it must promptly make that information available to everyone.
Politan launched an earlier proxy battle at Masimo, resulting in the activist getting two board seats in 2023, including one for managing partner Quentin Koffey.
A spokesperson for Masimo declined to comment. A representative for Politan didn't immediately return a request for comment.

Alcon (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/alc#NYSE">ALC</a>) has been gaining from a strong pipeline and its focus on research and innovation. Market share gains also aid growth. The stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
In Presbyopia-correcting Intraocular Lens (PCIOLs), Alcon currently leads the market with more than 60% share globally and over 80% share in the United States. In Surgical, the company maintains a strong market share in PCIOLs, driven by strong demand for products like PanOptix and Vivity despite new market entrants. Vivity&#39;s non-diffractive properties, ease of use and consistency of surgical outcomes make it particularly appealing.
Within Surgical, Alcon commercially launched SMARTCataract in the United States. This is expected to broaden the scope of the company in the growing surgical ophthalmology space. The company currently sees meaningful share gains driven by its new toric product launches, including Precision1, Total30 and Dailies Total1.
The company will offer a cataract-only system called UNITY CS, which will be available in 2026. Importantly, UNITY brings with it new and innovative consumables that drive incremental benefits for the surgeon. The launch of these instruments will help the company secure the next decade of the company&#39;s consumables business, which is a large, recurring and profitable revenue stream.
In ocular health, the company is also expanding business with the integration of Rocklatan and Rhopressa and concluded Phase 3 trials for AR-15512, the dry-eye pharmaceutical candidate. In addition, the company is witnessing growth in its over-the-counter portfolio, mainly driven by favorable pricing and a sustained family of products. The company looks forward to the growing demand for its multi-dose preservative-free formulations, which are helping expand the U.S. preservative-free category.
Alcon&#39;s Surgical business continues to gain from a diverse portfolio and incremental innovation. In terms of the latest developments within Implantables, Alcon&#39;s technology continues to lead the market. Globally, one out of every three IOLs implanted is done with an Alcon lens. In premium lenses, the statistic is even more impressive, with one out of two ATIOLs being an Alcon product. The company&#39;s flagship lenses, Vivity and PanOptix, continue to lead the category in the United States and around the world. Additionally, it continues to expand in areas where it has significant opportunities to grow share, such as China.

Within the Surgical franchise, revenues were up 6% year over year in the first quarter, mainly driven by advanced technology intraocular lenses, including Vivity, PanOptix and monofocal torics in international markets.

Within Vision Care, Alcon is registering solid growth, banking on strong sales of its contact lenses and ocular health products. In contact lenses, the company is successfully executing its strategy of investing in fast-growing market segments where it has significant share opportunities. As a result, Alcon is outpacing market growth in every category where it has launched new products.
In contact lenses, Alcon with its strategic investments, has secured its position as one of the fastest-growing companies. It is witnessing strong interest in its specialty lenses, including multifocal and toric.
On the flip side, Alcon is experiencing inflationary pressure in electronic components, freight, labor, resins and plastics, impacting the company&#39;s margins. The company is also encountering supply chain challenges in certain components, including microchips, resins and plastics, metals and filters. The company expects these inflationary pressures and supply chain challenges to continue in 2024. The cost of net sales in the first quarter was up 2.9% year over year. Our model estimates a 5.4% increase in the metric for full-year 2024.
Meanwhile, the ophthalmology industry is highly competitive. In the surgical business, Alcon competes with large manufacturers with multiple business lines as well as small manufacturers that offer a limited selection of specialized products. The company also&nbsp;faces competition&nbsp;from&nbsp;providers&nbsp;of&nbsp;alternative&nbsp;medical&nbsp;therapies,&nbsp;such&nbsp;as&nbsp;pharmaceutical&nbsp;companies that have&nbsp; the potential to disrupt core elements of its business.
In vision care business, the market for contact lenses is intensely competitive and is characterized by declining sales volumes for older and reusable product lines and growing demand for daily lenses and advanced materials lenses. Increased product entries from contact lens manufacturers in Asia also pose a massive threat.

Alcon's Market Share Gains, New Launches Aid Growth

Accuray Incorporated (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/aray#NASDAQ">ARAY</a>) and Halifax Health announced a breakthrough in cancer treatment at the Charles L. and Miki N. Grant Cancer Center for Hope in Port Orange, FL. The center&#39;s medical team became the first in the United States to treat cancer patients using Accuray&#39;s Radixact System with VitalHold technology. This innovative system is designed to enhance the precision of radiation therapy by improving patient positioning and monitoring throughout the treatment process, offering a new standard of care for a wide range of cancer cases, including breast cancer.
<h3>Significance of Radixact</h3>
Per Accuray, Radixact System, backed by VitalHold and other advanced technologies like ClearRT helical CT imaging and Synchrony real-time adaptive delivery, represents a significant advancement in radiotherapy. VitalHold&#39;s surface-guided radiotherapy (SGRT) ensures accurate patient positioning, improving the reproducibility of treatments and enabling deep inspiration breath hold techniques. This minimizes radiation exposure to critical organs, reducing long-term complications. The system&#39;s tattoo-free positioning further enhances patient experience, making radiation therapy more comfortable and cosmetically appealing.
The anticipated 35% increase in new cancer cases in the United States by 2040 underscores the critical need for advanced resources. Accuray&#39;s Radixact System, equipped with the VitalHold feature, is designed to meet this challenge by providing precise, high-quality radiation therapy from simulation through delivery. Management highlighted the partnership with Halifax Health, where the first U.S. patients have been treated using this innovative system, as a testament to its commitment.
<h3>Industry Prospects</h3>
Per a report in Precedence Research, the global radiation therapy market size is expected to be worth $7.47 billion in 2024. It is anticipated to reach $16.30 billion by 2033 at a CAGR of 8.6%.
The robust growth will be primarily driven by the increasing incidence of cancer, leading to higher demand for radiation therapy. Additionally, advancements in radiation therapy technology, including enhanced ionizing radiation and improved efficiency in targeting cancerous cells, are boosting its effectiveness and utilization in oncology.
Growing awareness about the benefits of advanced radiation therapy, along with initiatives to educate the public, is also accelerating market growth. The integration of innovative features and software systems in radiation therapy will enhance performance, driving increased demand and market value during the forecast period.
In June, Accuray announced that Heidelberg University Hospital in Germany is set to adopt its Radixact System, replacing its older TomoTherapy System.
