There is a lot of growth in this name. They had a bit of a windfall selling equipment during COVID. There is a lot of positive news coming out about their in-home care. There are a lot of positive drivers in this business.

(A Top Pick Apr 27/20, Up 16%) Covid has indirectly increased their business. Growing organically and via acquisitions. Reasonable multiple. Either multiple expansion or a takeover target.

Their ventilator business has grown in recent years tough they struggled to access Covid patients in hospitals. They had great revenues in their last quarter. They're expanding operations as they enter new markets. EBITDA was lower than expected, so shares pulled back. They trade at half the PE of their peers. The CEO is one of the biggest shareholders.

EPS of $0.04 missed estimates of $0.07 and revenues of $50.6M beat estimates of $49.9M. Revenues grew by 28% year-over-year, and its Adjusted EBITDA grew by 21%. It has no debt and management expects to generate revenues of $53.8M to $54.8M for Q2 2024. It was cash flow negative for the quarter, but its margins are good and it has a strong balance sheet. For a company growing fast with good profit margins, it is only trading at 20X forward earnings, but it is highly volatile and a small name. We consider the results overall decent, but investors are likely not pleased with its earnings miss.

Momentum has been improving recently and VMD is up 10% year-to-date. Recent earnings were positive with the stock beating EPS and revenue estimates and continuing to grow positively. The stock continues to look good fundamentally with positive, growing free cash flows and a net cah balance. Its valuation at 25x forward earnings is also not bad given the strong earnings and revenue growth expected over the next few years. We think it is be worth holding as it is a fundamentally sound business in our opinion.
