The standout driver was the Cardiovascular segment, which delivered its best reported growth in over a decade, rising 10.8% to $3.44 billion, fueled by an explosive 71% surge in Cardiac Ablation Solutions as the company's pulsed field ablation technology gained rapid adoption, including 128% growth in the U.S. Alone. Barclays responded by lifting its price target on Medtronic to $111, maintaining an Overweight rating. Looking ahead, management raised its full-year organic revenue growth outlook to approximately 5.5% from 5.0%, and nudged its non-GAAP EPS guidance range to $5.62 to $5.66, with further acceleration expected in the back half of the fiscal year as the PFA franchise, Hugo robotic surgery system, and newly approved Altaviva therapy build commercial scale.
Key Takeaways
- • Pulsed field ablation (PFA) portfolio driving 71% growth in Cardiac Ablation Solutions
- • Strongest Cardiovascular revenue growth in over a decade, excluding pandemic
- • Robust procedure volumes and end market demand
- • Diabetes business growth of 10.3% reported, 7.1% organic
