ICU Medical, Inc. — Cyborg Score 5/10

Mixed
Medical Devices - Infusion Therapy & Vital Care

Strategic Profile

ICU Medical has demonstrated solid 12.4% annualized revenue growth over the last five years, beating the average healthcare company. However, recent performance shows demand has slowed as revenue was flat over the last two years. Its average operating margin of 2.9% is weak for a healthcare business, reflecting margin compression from a large cost base.

Cyborg Score Rationale

ICU Medical demonstrates solid historical revenue growth and consistent profitability, but faces near-term headwinds. Q4 2025 revenue fell 13% year-on-year to $540.7 million, and analysts expect 3.4% revenue decline over the next 12 months, implying demand challenges. EPS grew only 1.7% over five years despite 12.4% revenue growth, indicating declining per-share profitability.
