As the global population ages, degenerative spine and musculoskeletal disorders are becoming increasingly common. In many cases, treatment requires surgical intervention. Since its founding in 2003, Globus Medical has focused on addressing the needs of this growing patient population through spinal implants and advanced surgical solutions.
In the 12 months ended last September, the company generated $2.77 billion in medical device sales, nearly three times the level reported three years earlier. Over the same period, profits surged 173% to $424 million.
This sustained expansion supports the company’s grade of A in our Growth category. Combined with composite grades of A- in Value, B+ in Profitability, and A- in Cash Flow, these fundamentals translate into a MarketGrader Overall Grade of 77.4. Globus Medical ranks first among 176 U.S.-listed companies in the Medical Specialties industry in MarketGrader, earning it our designation as Fundamental Idea of the Week.
