ResMed (NYSE:RMD) Stock

ResMed

ResMed is one of the largest respiratory care device companies globally, primarily developing and supplying flow generators, masks and accessories for the treatment of sleep apnea. Increasing diagnosis of sleep apnea combined with ageing populations and increasing prevalence of obesity is resulting in a structurally growing market. The company earns roughly two thirds of its revenue in the Americas and the balance across other regions dominated by Europe, Japan and Australia. Recent developments and acquisitions have focused on digital health as ResMed is aiming to differentiate itself through the provision of clinical data for use by the patient, medical care advisor and payer in the out-of-hospital setting.

Shares of SoundHound AI, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOUN#NASDAQ">SOUN</a>) are making a nice move higher Tuesday. Some analysts believe that this is due to a report that suggests institutions make up more than 30% of the company's ownership.
Despite the move, the stock is trading within a well-defined range. This means there may be opportunities for low-risk trades. This is why it is our <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/stock-of-the-day">Stock of the Day</a>.
There are generally two ways that traders can profit from rangebound stocks. 
The first is to sell close to the top of the range and to buy near the bottom of the range.<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/02/43443605/stock-of-the-day-trading-the-range-in-resmed"> Yesterday's Stock of the Day covered this strategy </a>with ResMed Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RMD#NYSE">RMD</a>).
At the top of a range, there is resistance, and sometimes stocks sell off when they hit resistance. At the bottom of the range, there is support, and sometimes stocks rally after they hit this support.
There is also another way to trade a range. This involves trading a breakout or breakdown. See below.

Resistance is a large concentration of stocks that are for sale at, or close to, the same price. Sometimes stocks sell off of resistance because people who wish to sell start to undercut each other. The buyers will go to whoever is willing to sell at the lowest price and they don't want to miss their trade.
But sometimes, the buyers overpower the sellers and push the stock through the resistance. This is called a ‘breakout'. These tend to be bullish dynamics. It shows that the people who created the resistance are out of the market. They have either canceled or finished their orders.
With these sellers gone, people who wish to buy will need to be willing to pay premiums and this could force the stock into a new uptrend. This is why some traders buy stocks that are breaking out.
Support is a large concentration of buyers willing to pay the same or close to the same price for new shares. Sometimes, stocks rally off support when buyers start to outbid each other. This could result in a snowball effect that forces the price higher.
But sometimes, the sellers overpower the buyers and push the stock below the support. This is called a ‘breakdown'. &nbsp;This tends to be bearish because it shows that the investors and traders who created the support have left the market.
Sellers may be forced to push the price lower to get the attention of buyers. This could form a new downtrend. This is why some traders sell when breakdowns occur.

ResMed Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RMD#NYSE">RMD</a>) shares are consolidating on Monday. This follows Friday's decline of more than 8%. The sell-off was driven by a disappointing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/RMD/analyst-ratings">earnings report</a>.
Traders are waiting to see if ResMed drops to levels around $228.80. This is a support level and sometimes when a stock hits support, a reversal and move higher follows. As you can see on the chart, this happened the last time ResMed dropped to this price. This is why it's our Stock of the Day.
It may happen again. When a stock has been in a defined trading range, some traders like to sell if the shares reach the top of the range. Some like to buy at the bottom of the range.
The top of a range is called resistance. It is a price level where there is a large amount of sell interest. If a market is trending higher, there are more shares to be bought than there are to be sold.

Buyers have to be willing to outbid others if they want to acquire shares.&nbsp;This forces it into an uptrend. When a stock reaches resistance, there are more than enough sell orders to fill all of the buy orders, so the uptrend ends.
Sometimes, stocks reverse and head lower after reaching resistance. This happened the last two times ResMed hit the resistance around $258. Anxious sellers undercut each other and it resulted in a snowball effect that pushed the price down.
Stocks can rally after they reach support. Support is a price level or range with large amounts of buy interest.
Sometimes, when a stock is close to support, some investors and traders who created the support get nervous. They know sellers will go to whoever wants to pay the highest price. They don't want to miss the trade, so they increase the prices they are willing to pay.
Other nervous buyers see this and do the same. It can result in a bidding war that forces the price up.
As you can see on the chart, this happened the last three times <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/RMD">ResMed</a> reached support around $228.80. It may be about to happen again.

JP Morgan Maintains Overweight on ResMed, Raises Price Target to $286

Major stock indices have completed their recovery following Monday's sharp drop, buoyed by tech stocks rallying on the back of solid earnings <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s">and positive macroeconomic data.</a>
The S&amp;P 500 index stands at 6,118 points at midday trading in New York, not far from the all-time high of 6,128 points reached last Friday.
The Personal Consumption Expenditure price index — the Fed's preferred inflation gauge — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/01/43390001/feds-favorite-inflation-gauge-rises-as-predicted-consumer-spending-jumps-at-fastest-pace-in-9-months">came in line with expectations in December</a>, easing market participants&#8217; concerns over interest rates. Fed futures continue to reflect expectations for two rate cuts by the end of the year.
Meanwhile, personal spending posted a robust 0.7% increase in December, signaling strong consumer appetite in the final month of the year — a promising sign for corporate earnings.
The Magnificent Seven — as tracked by the Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAGS#NASDAQ">MAGS</a>) – soared 1.6% on Friday, effectively erasing weekly losses after plunging as much as 3.1% on Monday due to the DeepSeek selloff.
Yet, within the elite group, NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) remains 12% lower than last Friday's close, with Friday&#8217;s gains primarily driven by Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>)
The Dow Jones, flat on the day, attempted to break its all-time highs at the open but faced resistance from sellers. Sector-wise, tech leads the charge, while energy lags following mixed earnings results from oil giants Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) and Chevron Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>).
Gold climbed above $2,800 per ounce, extending new records as demand for the ultimate safe-haven asset surges amid rising geopolitical and trade risks. This comes after President Donald Trump confirmed on Thursday his plan to introduce 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada starting Feb. 1.
WTI crude oil prices were down 0.3% at $72.3 per barrel, potentially marking their second consecutive weekly decline.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) paused for a breather, holding steady at $104,800.

Wall Street is struggling to find risk-on momentum, with major indexes stuck near the flatline at midday as investors assess the latest earnings reports from mega-cap tech stocks and weaker-than-expected U.S. economic growth in the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/01/43336153/us-economy-grows-below-q4-estimates-as-consumer-spending-hits-7-quarter-high"> final quarter of 2024.</a>
After Tuesday's rally — which followed a selloff triggered by DeepSeek&#8217;s impact earlier in the week — caution has taken hold, signaling the wounds from the downturn are still fresh.
Microsoft Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NYSE">MSFT</a>) is among the hardest-hit stocks, plunging more than 6%, which could mark its worst daily decline<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43333060/msft-stock-declines-over-4-in-premarket-after-q2-results-ceo-satya-nadella-says-deepseek-has-some-r"> since October 2022</a>.
Despite reporting overall stronger-than-expected earnings, Microsoft&#8217;s cloud segment, Azure, fell short of growth expectations, and the company slightly missed its revenue guidance for the ongoing quarter.
In contrast, Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) climbed 1.7% post-earnings, reaching new all-time highs.
Another major laggard was United Parcel Service Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UPS#NYSE">UPS</a>), which plummeted 15%, potentially heading for its worst single-day drop <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43335015/ups-q4-earnings-major-customer-volume-cut-raises-jitters-stock-tanks">since going public in 2002</a>.
UPS Chief Financial Officer Brian Dykes revealed during the earnings call the company reached an agreement in principle with Amazon.com (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) to significantly cut the volume of packages it handles for the e-commerce giant, aiming for a 50% reduction by the second half of 2026.
The U.S. dollar and bond yields remained stable following the Federal Reserve's decision Wednesday to keep interest rates unchanged at 4.25%-4.5%.
Among commodities, precious metals stood out, with gold rising 1.4% to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/25/01/43348204/gold-hits-record-high-as-central-banks-ease-stance-5-mining-stocks-rally">new all-time highs </a>and silver climbing 2.4%.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) edged up 1% to around $105,000.

<h3>Exploring the Significance of Insider Trading</h3>
Investors should view insider transactions as part of a multifaceted analysis and not rely solely on them for decision-making.
Considering the legal perspective, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities, according to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are mandated to disclose their transactions through a Form 4 filing, to be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
Pointing towards optimism, a company insider's new purchase signals their positive anticipation for the stock to rise.
Nevertheless, insider sells may not necessarily indicate a bearish view and can be influenced by various factors.

Surveying the realm of stock transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> often give prominence to those unfolding in the open market, systematically detailed in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 indicates a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C denotes the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.
