$50.00 or $120.00 / year

Cooper Companies delivered strong FY24 results with record revenues of $3.9B (+8% organic), driven by robust performances in CooperVision (CVI) and CooperSurgical (CSI). CVI’s Q4 revenues grew 8% organically, supported by double-digit growth in MyDay lenses (+14%) and specialty categories like torics (+9%). However, U.S. and China softness in October dampened Q4 momentum, which management views as temporary, with growth normalization expected. CSI achieved 5% organic growth, led by fertility services (+13%) amid rising infertility rates and expanding genomics innovations. Key tailwinds include MyDay capacity expansion, MiSight (~40% projected FY25 growth), and fertility’s structural demand, but headwinds like PARAGARD pressure and FX (~1.5% revenue impact) pose challenges. FY25 guidance calls for 6%-8% revenue growth and EPS of $3.92-$4.02, with $400M in CapEx targeting supply constraints. Cooper’s investments in manufacturing, myopia management, and AI-driven diagnostics highlight its strategic positioning in high-growth markets, though competitive intensity and inflationary constraints require focus. While capacity issues remain a gating factor for CVI’s premium products, Cooper’s geographic and product diversification provides resilience. The strategic question remains: Can Cooper scale MyDay’s production and sustain innovation in fertility and specialty lenses to capitalize on demand while managing operational constraints and pricing pressures?
