Edwards Lifesciences Corporation provides products and technologies to treat advanced cardiovascular diseases in the United States and internationally. EW has completed its transition into a pure-play structural heart disease leader, sharpening its focus on high-growth, high-margin segments following the divestiture of its Critical Care business to Becton, Dickinson and Company for $4.2 billion in cash.

This strategic move, while removing roughly 20% of its 2023 EBITDA base, has been effectively offset by the rapid expansion of its Transcatheter Mitral and Tricuspid Therapies (TMTT) segment, which is growing over 50% year-over-year and emerging as a key driver of future growth.
At the same time, its core Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) franchise, generating over $4.5 billion in annual revenue with 12%+ growth, continues to provide a stable and scalable foundation, with additional upside from expanded indications such as asymptomatic and moderate aortic stenosis patients.
Trading at approximately $78 following a pullback from recent highs of $87, Edwards Lifesciences presents an attractive entry point supported by strong fundamentals, including 78% gross margins, a solid balance sheet with $3.8 billion in cash, and improving free cash flow generation. The company’s valuation of ~21.3x EV/NTM EBITDA remains below its historical average of 26x, suggesting room for multiple expansion alongside expected EBITDA growth of 10–11% CAGR.
With ongoing share repurchases, disciplined capital allocation, and a long-term growth outlook driven by demographic tailwinds and innovation in transcatheter therapies, Edwards Lifesciences is well positioned for sustained double-digit earnings growth. In a favorable scenario, a combination of earnings expansion and multiple re-rating could drive compelling double-digit annualized returns from current levels.
Previously, we covered a bullish thesis on Edwards Lifesciences Corporation (EW) by Natan in January 2025, which highlighted the company’s leadership in TAVR, strong market share, margin resilience, and long-term growth driven by TMTT and structural heart expansion. EW’s stock price has appreciated by approximately 14.12% since our coverage. Federico Torre shares a similar view but emphasizes on valuation re-rating and balance sheet strength.
