Why Is LeMaitre Not Exciting?
We're swiping left on LeMaitre for now. Here is one reason there are better opportunities than LMAT and a stock we'd rather own.
Fewer Distribution Channels Limit its Ceiling
Larger companies benefit from economies of scale, where fixed costs like infrastructure, technology, and administration are spread over a higher volume of goods or services, reducing the cost per unit. Scale can also lead to bargaining power with suppliers, greater brand recognition, and more investment firepower. A virtuous cycle can ensue if a scaled company plays its cards right.
With just $240.9 million in revenue over the past 12 months, LeMaitre is a small company in an industry where scale matters. This makes it difficult to build trust with customers because healthcare is heavily regulated, complex, and resource-intensive.
Final Judgment
LeMaitre isn’t a terrible business, but it doesn’t pass our quality test. With its shares lagging the market recently, the stock trades at 32.3× forward P/E (or $83.37 per share). This valuation tells us a lot of optimism is priced in - we think there are better opportunities elsewhere. We’d suggest looking at a dominant Aerospace business that has perfected its M&A strategy.
