RMD will report their 3QFY17 results on 27th April. Early success of the AirFit 20 series should help to underpin year-on-year underlying earnings growth 15%+ to $US$520m.
FY18 we expect revenue of US$2.3b, EBIT US$580m, (from US$520in FY17), EPS US$3.10 and DPS US$1.45, placing the stock on a forward yeild of 2.1%
We like RMD’s growth outlook and therefore we’re encouraged to buy RMD ahead of the result and to add to the position on price retracements.
To help enhance the yield, we’re selling out-of-money call options, allowing for reasonable capital growth whilst at the same time increasing the cash flow from the dividend and call option income to over 10% p/a.
