20.07.25 08:14:35 Carl Zeiss Meditec (ETR:AFX) shareholders have endured a 62% loss from investing in the stock three years ago
If you love investing in stocks you're bound to buy some losers. Long term Carl Zeiss Meditec AG (ETR:AFX) shareholders know that all too well, since the share price is down considerably over three years. Sadly for them, the share price is down 63% in that time.

Now let's have a look at the company's fundamentals, and see if the long term shareholder return has matched the performance of the underlying business.

Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit.

While the efficient markets hypothesis continues to be taught by some, it has been proven that markets are over-reactive dynamic systems, and investors are not always rational. One way to examine how market sentiment has changed over time is to look at the interaction between a company's share price and its earnings per share (EPS).

During the three years that the share price fell, Carl Zeiss Meditec's earnings per share (EPS) dropped by 16% each year. This reduction in EPS is slower than the 28% annual reduction in the share price. So it seems the market was too confident about the business, in the past.

The graphic below depicts how EPS has changed over time (unveil the exact values by clicking on the image).XTRA:AFX Earnings Per Share Growth July 20th 2025

Before buying or selling a stock, we always recommend a close examination of historic growth trends, available here.

A Different Perspective

While the broader market gained around 23% in the last year, Carl Zeiss Meditec shareholders lost 16% (even including dividends). Even the share prices of good stocks drop sometimes, but we want to see improvements in the fundamental metrics of a business, before getting too interested. Regrettably, last year's performance caps off a bad run, with the shareholders facing a total loss of 7% per year over five years. Generally speaking long term share price weakness can be a bad sign, though contrarian investors might want to research the stock in hope of a turnaround. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand Carl Zeiss Meditec better, we need to consider many other factors. Consider for instance, the ever-present spectre of investment risk. We've identified 2 warning signs with Carl Zeiss Meditec , and understanding them should be part of your investment process.

For those who like to find winning investments this freelist of undervalued companies with recent insider purchasing, could be just the ticket.

09.04.25 11:11:00 ZEISS receives FDA clearance for INTRABEAM 700
With its new treatment platform for intraoperative radiotherapy, ZEISS is actively shaping the medical innovation of neuro tumor therapy.

JENA, Germany, April 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- As a leading provider of medical solutions in the field of neurosurgery, ZEISS Medical Technology is also dedicated to shaping modern oncology. The company recently received 510(k) clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for INTRABEAM® 700 – a leading-edge platform that provides robotic-assisted precision to support intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT). With its modern digital-first architecture, ZEISS INTRABEAM 700 creates SMART workflow efficiency and provides seamless connectivity, offering real added value for neurooncology and breast cancer therapy.ZEISS INTRABEAM 700

"Based on our established INTRABEAM platform, the newly developed ZEISS INTRABEAM 700 marks the next major step on our path to shaping the oncology workflows of tomorrow," says Dr. Christian Schwedes, Head of the Neuro- and Spine Surgery Business Sector at ZEISS Medical Technology. "It is especially designed for a precise, structured and risk-adapted treatment of brain tumors. From smart robotic positioning of the system, a more efficient workflow before and during the application, to bringing the system into the 21st century when it comes to digitalization and connectivity, the ZEISS INTRABEAM 700 will support the efficient and seamless collaboration between neurosurgery and oncological therapy."

Robotic-assisted Precision

In oncological treatments, it must be ensured that the target area is optimally resected, and that healthy tissue is spared as much as possible. Especially during contact irradiation, it is important that the target focus always remains the same throughout the entire treatment, without interruptions or unintended movements. The cutting-edge maneuverability of the brand-new robotic ZEISS INTRABEAM SMART Stand meets these clinical requirements and offers excellent positioning control at every stage of the treatment.

ZEISS INTRABEAM SMART Stand supports the precise positioning of the applicator by allowing it to approach the cavity fast, but also to slow down the speed of movement when navigating the applicator within the cavity. Once the applicator is in place, the active damping and the stand dynamics reduce residual vibrations to a minimum.

"The new incarnation of the INTRABEAM 700 really gives you more range of motion in the delivery of the applicator to the cavity. It gives you precision in how movements can be made inside of the resection cavity by the applicator," says Christopher Cifarelli, MD Neurosurgeon, West Virginia University, USA.

Story Continues

SMART Workflow Efficiency

To achieve the best patient outcomes, healthcare professionals would like to focus solely on the treatment. ZEISS INTRABEAM 700 offers Smart Workflow Efficiency based on a digital-first architecture:

The new sterile ZEISS INTRABEAM SMART Spherical Applicators come with digital-assisted applicator management and the related ZEISS INTRABEAM Spherical Sizer Set also eliminates the need for sterilization. The convenient and smart draping and balancing functions support clinical workflow efficiency further. With a single tap, all functions can be controlled with a modern and intuitive graphical user interface (GUI), familiar from other ZEISS devices.

Furthermore, the completely redesigned Radiance™ treatment planning simulation software enables oncologists to assess and simulate all relevant intraoperative radiation dosage parameters based on individual patient data prior to treatment in a simpler and faster workflow, reducing unexpected treatment disruptions during surgery. This is key to successful surgical oncology procedures, resulting in optimal patient outcomes.

Seamless Connectivity

As part of the digitalization megatrend, connectivity is also becoming increasingly important in surgical oncology workflows worldwide. ZEISS INTRABEAM 700 can be integrated seamlessly into the surgical infrastructure and the hospital information system. Direct access to leading digital solutions from ZEISS enables faster routine workflows and simplified data management. The platform also provides integrated applicator recognition and confirmation through embedded Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology.

For progress in medical technology

The latest generation of the INTRABEAM platform highlights ZEISS' innovative strength and is an example of how the company is driving medical innovation in cancer therapy: INTRABEAM from ZEISS is currently already used in multiple large clinical studies to research intraoperative radiotherapy in brain tumors, and clinical data has already been published. In addition, work on new clinical and patient-related data in the field of breast cancer is ongoing.*

ZEISS will present its latest solution for intraoperative radiotherapy from April 25 to 28, 2025, at the American Association of Neurological Surgeons Annual Scientific Meeting (AANS) in Boston, booth no. 625.

* INTRAMET – phase 2 study – Brain Metastases – publication expected in 2026; INTRAGO II – phase 3 study – Glioblastoma – completed in 2024 (publication expected for 2026); TARGIT-E – phase 3 study Breast cancer in elderly patients – publication expected in 2025; TARGIT-US – phase 4 study Breast cancer – publication expected in 2027.

08.04.25 13:36:04 Carl Zeiss Meditec AG's (ETR:AFX) Fundamentals Look Pretty Strong: Could The Market Be Wrong About The Stock?
Carl Zeiss Meditec (ETR:AFX) has had a rough month with its share price down 17%. However, stock prices are usually driven by a company’s financials over the long term, which in this case look pretty respectable. Specifically, we decided to study Carl Zeiss Meditec's ROE in this article.

Return on Equity or ROE is a test of how effectively a company is growing its value and managing investors’ money. In short, ROE shows the profit each dollar generates with respect to its shareholder investments.

Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit.

How To Calculate Return On Equity?

Return on equity can be calculated by using the formula:

Return on Equity = Net Profit (from continuing operations) ÷ Shareholders' Equity

So, based on the above formula, the ROE for Carl Zeiss Meditec is:

7.7% = €158m ÷ €2.1b (Based on the trailing twelve months to December 2024).

The 'return' is the yearly profit. One way to conceptualize this is that for each €1 of shareholders' capital it has, the company made €0.08 in profit.

Check out our latest analysis for Carl Zeiss Meditec

What Has ROE Got To Do With Earnings Growth?

Thus far, we have learned that ROE measures how efficiently a company is generating its profits. Based on how much of its profits the company chooses to reinvest or "retain", we are then able to evaluate a company's future ability to generate profits. Assuming everything else remains unchanged, the higher the ROE and profit retention, the higher the growth rate of a company compared to companies that don't necessarily bear these characteristics.

Carl Zeiss Meditec's Earnings Growth And 7.7% ROE

When you first look at it, Carl Zeiss Meditec's ROE doesn't look that attractive. Yet, a closer study shows that the company's ROE is similar to the industry average of 9.5%. Having said that, Carl Zeiss Meditec has shown a modest net income growth of 8.9% over the past five years. Considering the moderately low ROE, it is quite possible that there might be some other aspects that are positively influencing the company's earnings growth. For example, it is possible that the company's management has made some good strategic decisions, or that the company has a low payout ratio.

Next, on comparing with the industry net income growth, we found that the growth figure reported by Carl Zeiss Meditec compares quite favourably to the industry average, which shows a decline of 2.3% over the last few years.

XTRA:AFX Past Earnings Growth April 8th 2025

The basis for attaching value to a company is, to a great extent, tied to its earnings growth. The investor should try to establish if the expected growth or decline in earnings, whichever the case may be, is priced in. This then helps them determine if the stock is placed for a bright or bleak future. Is AFX fairly valued? This infographic on the company's intrinsic value has everything you need to know.

Is Carl Zeiss Meditec Efficiently Re-investing Its Profits?

With a three-year median payout ratio of 34% (implying that the company retains 66% of its profits), it seems that Carl Zeiss Meditec is reinvesting efficiently in a way that it sees respectable amount growth in its earnings and pays a dividend that's well covered.

Additionally, Carl Zeiss Meditec has paid dividends over a period of at least ten years which means that the company is pretty serious about sharing its profits with shareholders. Our latest analyst data shows that the future payout ratio of the company over the next three years is expected to be approximately 31%. Still, forecasts suggest that Carl Zeiss Meditec's future ROE will rise to 11% even though the the company's payout ratio is not expected to change by much.

Conclusion

Overall, we feel that Carl Zeiss Meditec certainly does have some positive factors to consider. With a high rate of reinvestment, albeit at a low ROE, the company has managed to see a considerable growth in its earnings. That being so, the latest analyst forecasts show that the company will continue to see an expansion in its earnings.

23.03.25 07:50:56 Carl Zeiss Meditec AG (ETR:AFX) Stock Goes Ex-Dividend In Just Three Days
Some investors rely on dividends for growing their wealth, and if you're one of those dividend sleuths, you might be intrigued to know that Carl Zeiss Meditec AG (ETR:AFX) is about to go ex-dividend in just 3 days. The ex-dividend date is two business days before a company's record date in most cases, which is the date on which the company determines which shareholders are entitled to receive a dividend. The ex-dividend date is important as the process of settlement involves at least two full business days. So if you miss that date, you would not show up on the company's books on the record date. In other words, investors can purchase Carl Zeiss Meditec's shares before the 27th of March in order to be eligible for the dividend, which will be paid on the 31st of March.

The company's next dividend payment will be €0.60 per share, and in the last 12 months, the company paid a total of €0.60 per share. Looking at the last 12 months of distributions, Carl Zeiss Meditec has a trailing yield of approximately 0.9% on its current stock price of €63.95. Dividends are a major contributor to investment returns for long term holders, but only if the dividend continues to be paid. So we need to investigate whether Carl Zeiss Meditec can afford its dividend, and if the dividend could grow.

Dividends are typically paid out of company income, so if a company pays out more than it earned, its dividend is usually at a higher risk of being cut. Carl Zeiss Meditec paid out a comfortable 34% of its profit last year. Yet cash flows are even more important than profits for assessing a dividend, so we need to see if the company generated enough cash to pay its distribution. The company paid out 103% of its free cash flow over the last year, which we think is outside the ideal range for most businesses. Cash flows are usually much more volatile than earnings, so this could be a temporary effect - but we'd generally want to look more closely here.

Carl Zeiss Meditec paid out less in dividends than it reported in profits, but unfortunately it didn't generate enough cash to cover the dividend. Cash is king, as they say, and were Carl Zeiss Meditec to repeatedly pay dividends that aren't well covered by cashflow, we would consider this a warning sign.

Have Earnings And Dividends Been Growing?

Companies that aren't growing their earnings can still be valuable, but it is even more important to assess the sustainability of the dividend if it looks like the company will struggle to grow. If business enters a downturn and the dividend is cut, the company could see its value fall precipitously. That explains why we're not overly excited about Carl Zeiss Meditec's flat earnings over the past five years. We'd take that over an earnings decline any day, but in the long run, the best dividend stocks all grow their earnings per share. Earnings have been growing somewhat, but we're concerned dividend payments consumed most of the company's cash flow over the past year.

Story Continues

Many investors will assess a company's dividend performance by evaluating how much the dividend payments have changed over time. Carl Zeiss Meditec has delivered 4.1% dividend growth per year on average over the past 10 years.

The Bottom Line

Is Carl Zeiss Meditec an attractive dividend stock, or better left on the shelf? Earnings per share have barely grown in this time, and although Carl Zeiss Meditec is paying out a low percentage of its profit, its dividend was not well covered by free cash flow. It's not common to see a company paying out a limited amount of its profits yet a substantially higher percentage of its cash flow, so we'd flag this as a concern. While it does have some good things going for it, we're a bit ambivalent and it would take more to convince us of Carl Zeiss Meditec's dividend merits.

If you want to look further into Carl Zeiss Meditec, it's worth knowing the risks this business faces. Every company has risks, and we've spotted 2 warning signs for Carl Zeiss Meditec you should know about.

A common investing mistake is buying the first interesting stock you see. Here you can find a full list of high-yield dividend stocks.

22.03.25 07:47:51 Carl Zeiss Meditec's (ETR:AFX) Dividend Will Be Reduced To €0.60
Carl Zeiss Meditec AG (ETR:AFX) has announced that on 31st of March, it will be paying a dividend of€0.60, which a reduction from last year's comparable dividend. This means that the annual payment is 0.9% of the current stock price, which is lower than what the rest of the industry is paying.

While the dividend yield is important for income investors, it is also important to consider any large share price moves, as this will generally outweigh any gains from distributions. Investors will be pleased to see that Carl Zeiss Meditec's stock price has increased by 40% in the last 3 months, which is good for shareholders and can also explain a decrease in the dividend yield.

This technology could replace computers: discover the 20 stocks are working to make quantum computing a reality.

Carl Zeiss Meditec's Future Dividend Projections Appear Well Covered By Earnings

It would be nice for the yield to be higher, but we should also check if higher levels of dividend payment would be sustainable. Before making this announcement, Carl Zeiss Meditec was easily earning enough to cover the dividend. As a result, a large proportion of what it earned was being reinvested back into the business.

Over the next year, EPS is forecast to expand by 81.3%. If the dividend continues along recent trends, we estimate the payout ratio will be 20%, which is in the range that makes us comfortable with the sustainability of the dividend.XTRA:AFX Historic Dividend March 22nd 2025

Dividend Volatility

The company's dividend history has been marked by instability, with at least one cut in the last 10 years. The dividend has gone from an annual total of €0.40 in 2015 to the most recent total annual payment of €0.60. This implies that the company grew its distributions at a yearly rate of about 4.1% over that duration. Modest growth in the dividend is good to see, but we think this is offset by historical cuts to the payments. It is hard to live on a dividend income if the company's earnings are not consistent.

The Dividend's Growth Prospects Are Limited

With a relatively unstable dividend, it's even more important to evaluate if earnings per share is growing, which could point to a growing dividend in the future. Carl Zeiss Meditec hasn't seen much change in its earnings per share over the last five years.

Our Thoughts On Carl Zeiss Meditec's Dividend

In summary, dividends being cut isn't ideal, however it can bring the payment into a more sustainable range. The payments haven't been particularly stable and we don't see huge growth potential, but with the dividend well covered by cash flows it could prove to be reliable over the short term. This company is not in the top tier of income providing stocks.

Story Continues

It's important to note that companies having a consistent dividend policy will generate greater investor confidence than those having an erratic one. At the same time, there are other factors our readers should be conscious of before pouring capital into a stock. For example, we've picked out 2 warning signs for Carl Zeiss Meditec that investors should know about before committing capital to this stock.
