Description: EW Edwards Lifesciences December 04, 2025
Edwards Lifesciences Corp (NYSE:EW) designs, manufactures, and sells medical devices that treat advanced cardiovascular disease, focusing on transcatheter heart valve replacement (TAVR) and repair solutions for aortic, mitral, and tricuspid valves. Its flagship SAPIEN platform dominates minimally invasive aortic valve replacement, while the PASCAL PRECISION and Cardioband families address mitral and tricuspid pathologies. The firm also offers surgical structural-heart products under the INSPIRIS brand, leveraging RESILIA tissue and VFit technology to extend valve durability.
Key recent data points: • FY 2023 revenue reached approximately $5.1 billion, with a 12% YoY increase driven largely by TAVR sales. • The SAPIEN platform captured roughly 70% of the U.S. TAVR market, a segment projected to grow at a 9% CAGR through 2029. • Edwards’ operating margin expanded to 22% in Q4 2023, reflecting higher pricing power amid favorable Medicare reimbursement trends for transcatheter procedures.
