The Fundamentalytics view

Next results ~November 17, 2026 (estimated)

Medtronic's trailing-twelve-month revenue grew 9.8% year on year, with a free-cash-flow margin of 16.3%. Where it stands out: operating margin of 18.1% ranks 16 of 132 health care equipment companies we cover.

Our discounted-cash-flow model values the business at ~$89 per share in the base case (~$63–$120 across growth scenarios) — model values under stated assumptions, not a price target.

Current signal Revenue growth accelerating: TTM revenue growth rose to 9.8% (+1.3pp vs the prior quarter).

What the price is pricing in

The share price implies about 8.5% a year of cash-flow growth for five years.That is faster than the 3.4% a year revenue growth Medtronic has delivered.

  • Last 12 months9.8%

Our cash-flow model with every input fixed except growth over the next five years, solved for the growth at which the model value equals the share price ($98.52, Nov 3, 2026). Cash-flow growth then fades to 2.5% a year; discount rate 8.5%. Delivered figures are revenue growth from SEC filings.

How we got here: a discounted-cash-flow model of Medtronic's free cash flow after stock-based pay with after-tax interest added back ($6.1B, FY2027 Q1 TTM), growing 5.8% and 6.3% in the next two years (forecasts, guidance and its record), then back to 7.9% by year five, and fading to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5%. Lower and higher growth cases span ~$63–~$120 ; that spread sets a 25% margin before we rate Buy or Sell.

Produced by Fundamentalytics' automated valuation model on November 3, 2026, using delayed market prices. Rating meanings, methodology and conflicts: recommendations disclosure and research disclaimer. General research, not personal advice — it does not consider your circumstances. Prices can fall as well as rise.

Our value per share comes from a discounted-cash-flow model of Medtronic's free cash flow after stock-based pay ( $6.1B, FY2027 Q1 TTM, with after-tax interest added back): growth for five years as below (the first two years from forecasts, guidance and the company's record), fading to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5%, then cash added and debt and other claims subtracted. These are model values under stated assumptions, not price targets or recommendations.

Valuation models

We value Medtronic as an operating company, with every model that fits that kind of business. Cost of equity 8.4%: the 10-year Treasury yield (4.9%) plus a beta of 0.77 times a 4.5% equity risk premium.

  • Cash conversion 18 / 20

    Free cash flow was positive in 10 of 10 years, at a median 16.3% of revenue.

  • Discipline 18 / 20

    The diluted share count fell 5.0% over five years; stock-based pay has been a median 1.1% of revenue.

AI disruption exposure: Low. In this industry, the business rests on physical assets, regulated networks or products AI itself depends on.

How our valuation uses these forecasts

Our cash-flow model grows Medtronic's revenue by +5.8% next year and +6.3% the year after, then fades back toward its own record by year five. Next year's rate weighs analysts' consensus (+5.0%, weight 70%) and the company's own record (+7.9%, weight 30%) . How the weights are set.

Options strategies

All options ideas

How Medtronic’s listed options are priced, and three ways to use them that follow from our valuation. Quotes are delayed, read November 2, 2026. Check the live chain at your broker before trading.

Implied vs realised volatility

Includes results

A results date falls inside these options’ life. Implied volatility is meant to be higher for that, so we do not call it rich.

  • Implied is 1.31× the last 60 days’ realised volatility .
  • Why: an earnings date falls inside the option's life, so implied volatility is expected to be high.

Our rule for “rich”: implied at least 1.2× 60-day realised (beyond measurement noise), above 1-year realised (not just a calm spell), and in the top 20% of our coverage that day. Never with results inside the option’s life. These are our conventions, built on research showing option prices usually imply more movement than follows, most when the gap is wide. How we judge this.

Cash-secured put

Not offered: fundamentals grade B (needs B+ or better).

We suggest selling a put only on well-rated companies, at a strike where the price you would pay if assigned (strike less premium) is at or below our fair value.

MDT Medtronic Grade B $98.99

Own 100 shares, sell the $99.00 call expiring November 27, 2026 (25 days) for $2.70 a share — $270 per contract.

Previous session · Bid $2.70, ask $3.60, quoted Mon 2 Nov, 17:29 New York time with MDT at $98.99. Option prices move with the shares: check the live chain at your broker before trading.

  • If MDT ends below $99.00: you keep your shares and the $270 — 2.7% extra on the position, 39.8% a year at that pace.
  • If it ends above $99.00: your shares are sold at $99.00, a total return of 2.7% including the premium — at or above our value of ~$89.

Collar

Own the shares, buy the $92.50 put and sell the $110 call, both expiring December 18, 2026 (46 days).

  • Net cost of $0.81 a share ($81.00 per contract of 100 shares).
  • Worst case at expiry: -7.4%, if the shares fall below $92.50 (-6.6% from today).
  • Best case at expiry: +10.3%, if the shares rise above $110 (+11.1%); gains beyond that go to the call buyer.

Offered because the shares trade at or above our fair value of $89.00: a way to hold on with a floor under the price, paid for by giving up upside the model does not expect. Strikes near 25-delta; the put at its ask and the call at its bid. Protection has a cost over time: research on protective puts finds they have usually lowered returns.

General research, not personal advice. Options can lose you more than you expect and are not suitable for everyone: put sellers can be made to buy shares that keep falling, call sellers give up gains above the strike, and results or news can move prices sharply. Chances shown are approximations from each option’s delta. Spreads, fees and early assignment are not modelled.
