Description: FME Fresenius Medical Care January 02, 2026
Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co. KGaA (XETRA:FME) is the world’s largest provider of dialysis and related renal-care services, operating a network of outpatient clinics and hospital contracts in Germany, the United States, and other markets.
The business is split into two segments: **Care Delivery**, which runs the clinics and hospital-based dialysis services, and **Care Enablement**, which manufactures and distributes dialysis equipment (hemodialysis machines, peritoneal dialysis cyclers), consumables (dialyzers, concentrates, water-treatment systems), and renal pharmaceuticals.
Key recent metrics (FY 2023) show revenue of €19.4 bn, an EBITDA margin of ~23 %, and a 13 % year-over-year increase in US dialysis-clinic patient volume, reflecting both demographic aging and higher ESRD prevalence. The company’s growth is also tied to reimbursement trends in the U.S. Medicare-ESRD program and to its expanding home-dialysis offering, which benefits from policy incentives for cost-effective, patient-centric care.
