Fresenius sees record-breaking highs, as rally persists unabated
Fresenius, the leading healthcare company, has been making waves in the market lately, with its stock breaking through the resistance level around 44 euros and showing potential for further growth beyond the 50 euro range.
The stock's recent surge can be attributed to the strong second-quarter results reported by THE ACTION, as well as the successful implementation of a strategic plan by CEO Michael Sen and his team. This plan has seen the company streamline its operations, sell off peripheral businesses, and spin off the dialysis subsidiary Fresenius Medical Care (FMC) to reduce debt.
Despite the recent gains, Fresenius' stock still has a relatively moderate P/E ratio compared to the market, currently valued at about 11.7x. This undervaluation, combined with the company's strong fundamentals and growth catalysts, suggests a strong potential for the stock to surpass the 50 euro mark in the medium to long term.
The Fresenius Medical Care stock, in particular, is showing promising signs. The company's 2025 revenue forecast was upgraded to 5%–7% organic growth, driven by core divisions and operational efficiency programs that have delivered substantial cost savings and improved operating margins. Innovations in dialysis technology and AI, alongside strategic market exits, position Fresenius well to capitalize on the growing chronic kidney disease (CKD) market.
Analysts' average price targets range around $30.50 (approximately €28–29), reflecting about a 20% increase from current levels. Stock technicals suggest a likely rebound with a probable 7% rise over the next three months, reaching a range between $27.36 and $33.38 (about €25 to €31). Fresenius’s ongoing share buyback program further supports shareholder value.
However, it's important to note that there are emerging risks, such as regulatory challenges and elevated debt levels. But these are somewhat mitigated by operational gains and focused market exposure. Investors should monitor short-term volatility but consider Fresenius a promising long-term investment in healthcare technology and services.
Since the presentation in THE ACTION issue 35/22, the Fresenius stock has gained significantly, with a 75 percent increase. The stock is currently operating with greater efficiency, as reflected in its slightly higher valuation with a P/E ratio of just under 14.
In conclusion, Fresenius' stock has shown resilience and potential for further growth, with the 50 euro range within reach. Investors should keep a close eye on this promising healthcare company as it navigates the market and continues to deliver strong results.
