PME - Pro Medicus

No doubt a contract worth just $2.5m per year in revenue will cause the market cap to jump by at least $100m?!
crazy valuations and moves here , typical of a 'growth ' stock ( including paying very low or no returns at the current share price )
 
21st November 2023
• Co-founders Dr Sam Hupert and Mr Anthony Hall have each sold 1 million PME shares during the current trading window
• The sale represents less than 4% of their respective shareholdings.
• The transaction, in response to an approach from an individual fund, was conducted at the closing market price on the 20th November 2023 of $88.02
• Dr Hupert and Mr Hall remain the two largest shareholders in the company with both founders retaining in excess of 25 million shares each.
• Their combined shareholdings after the sale represent 48% of the company’s shares on issue.
The Pro Medicus Board has been advised that co-founders Dr Sam Hupert and Mr Anthony Hall have sold 1 million shares each in the current trading window representing less than 4% of their individual holdings.
The sale was in response to a strong approach from an individual fund and was done before market at the previous day’s closing price (0% discount). Dr Hupert and Mr Hall are actively engaged in the company as executives and board members and are committed to its future. They remain the two key stake holders in the company with their combined holding post this recent sale of 48%
Dr Hupert and Mr Hall re-affirmed that they do not intend to sell any further shares in PME in the foreseeable future.
The Chairman of the Board, Mr Peter Kempen AM, noted that this sale of shares by the Founders is consistent with previous sales.
This provides prospective shareholders with the opportunity to invest in the Company and ultimately will lead to an increase in the “free float””.

i hold PME ( 'free-carried' )

given the increasing tendency of funds ( and ETF providers ) to lend out shares to short-term traders , i hope they know what they are doing

since the share price is currently above $80

surely a share-split say 1 into 5 or 1 into 10 would be a better way ' to increase the free float 'without losing majority control of the company
 
AI, the words on everybody's lips. It has been around in radiology for quite a while. Medicine and AI are well suited to each other, and imaging and AI, even better suited. Of the FDA [U.S. Food & Drug Administration] cleared algorithms, roughly 80% that have been cleared in health care are in health care imaging. So, it is the hot area at the moment

just defies sensible investment metrics

not as bad as some since it actually makes a profit and pays dividends ( which look hilariously tiny @ $100 plus a share )

is this only the instos soaking the profit-taker's shares ( those who bought at $50 and below )

 Underlying profit before tax $48.9m – up 31.5%
 Net profit $36.3m – up 33.3%
 Cash and other financial assets $131.5m – up 8.3%
 Company remains debt-free
 Fully-franked interim dividend 18c per share

Leading health imaging company Pro Medicus Limited [ASX: PME] today announced a half-year net profit of $36.3 million for the six months to the end of December 2023, 33.3% higher than for the previous corresponding period.
Revenue from ordinary activities was $74.1 million, up 30.3%.
The company’s cash and other financial assets at December 2023 were $131.5 million, an increase of 8.3%.
Pro Medicus announced a fully-franked interim dividend of 18c per share.
The company remains debt-free.
The result was largely driven by increased revenue from North America (revenue up 36.8%), with four major implementations completed.
During the six-month period Pro Medicus also won four key contracts; Memorial Sloan Kettering, Baylor Scott & White, South Shore Health and Oregon Health & Science University.
These contracts have a total contract value of A$200 million (at committed minimum exam volumes) with contract terms ranging from 7 to 10 years.
Pro Medicus CEO Dr Sam Hupert said he was very pleased with the result, which was a record one for the company in terms of revenue and net profit as well as new sales.
“We benefited from above industry growth in exam volumes across our client base and successfully completed four new implementations all of which will provide a full six months of revenue in the second half.
On top of this, we had our strongest start to the year in terms of sales, so, we believe our second half will be stronger than our first forming the base for future growth in FY2025 and beyond.
” Looking ahead, Pro Medicus aims to further build on its presence in North America, Germany and Australia and is actively pursuing a growing number of opportunities across key markets – academic medical centers (AMC), integrated delivery networks (IDN) and corporate/private imaging centres.
“Our pipeline is strong across all sectors of the market,” Dr Hupert said. “Our cloud-based modular approach continues to provide unprecedented flexibility and scalability, as evidenced by the increasing number of clients choosing the full stack of all three Visage products – Viewer, Workflow and Archive, a trend we see continuing.”

Pro Medicus CEO Dr Sam Hupert said he was very pleased with the result, which represented another record for the company, not only in terms of revenue and net profit, but also sales and implementations.
‘All our key metrics moved in the right direction during the year,’ he said. ‘We won nine contracts, with a minimum total contract value of $245m, ranging from boutique opportunities such as the Florida-based Nicklaus Children’s Hospital through to our biggest sale to date in Baylor, Scott and White the largest not for profit in the state of Texas.
As we have demonstrated, our solution can work across all segments of the market, from a two-person radiology practice in Melbourne all the way to the largest, most sophisticated healthcare enterprises in the US such as Mayo Clinic.
We have a bit over 7% of the total addressable market (TAM) in the US and growing, so there is still a huge amount of runway ahead of us”.
Dr Hupert said the increasing adoption of Cloud has made PME’s implementations more streamlined.
‘In recent years all our implementations have been Cloud-based.
We see this as a strategic advantage for us,as our competition has not been able to re-engineer their systems to be Cloud-native like the Visage suite of products.
The fact that the vast majority of our recent sales have been for our “full stack” – Viewer,Archive and Workflow Management – also impacted positively on the result and augurs well for the future.
’Dr Hupert said he was also pleased with the company’s EBIT margins which have increased from 67.2% last year to 69.5% this year.
‘Our margins are industry leading and have been for many years.
This is a testament to the scalability and high operating leverage of our offering,’ he said.
Pro Medicus continued to make steady progress with its AI and other -ologies, particularly in terms of the company’s research collaborations, and the company’s pipeline remains strong.
‘We have seen an increased cadence of inbound RFPs across a broad range of market segments,’ Dr Hupert said.
‘This, plus an increased focus on Cloud, has helped boost our pipeline, not just in terms of quantity of opportunities but also quality.’

touched a new record high of $160.830 this morning , ex-div. as well so you can't claim the 22 cent div. drove up the price

however my main interest now is if it can break $165 ( my buy price was 16.5 cents ) and make it a THOUSAND BAGGER in just over 13 years

i can just dream of it now .. a custom back patch for my denim jacket ... or maybe a custom belt buckle

maybe i should start a blog ( like Dr. FFF ) and break another email server

oh the fame .. the fortune .. the extra tax forms ...🤢🤢 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

maybe i should just go back to researching and looking for the next 100 bagger 🤔🤔
 
$166.960 touched today

one thousand bagger status ( for me ) officially achieved

and i might suggest the market is totally , absolutely nuts

or are we climbing the Wall of Worry ?
