<h3>How Does Edwards Lifesciences P/E Compare to Other Companies?</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Edwards Lifesciences has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 58.48 of the Health Care Equipment &amp; Supplies industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1746115219_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

Intraday Update

P/E Ratio Insights for Edwards Lifesciences

Edwards Lifesciences (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EW#NYSE">EW</a>) announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved its transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) therapy, the SAPIEN 3 platform, for severe aortic stenosis (AS) patients without symptoms, marking the first FDA approval for TAVR in asymptomatic patients.
Approval of the SAPIEN 3 platform (SAPIEN 3, SAPIEN 3 Ultra and SAPIEN 3 Ultra RESILIA) is based on groundbreaking data from the EARLY TAVR trial, which demonstrated that asymptomatic severe AS patients randomized to Edwards TAVR experienced superior outcomes compared to guideline-recommended clinical surveillance (watchful waiting).
Without treatment, 1 in 10 patients experiencing symptoms of severe AS may die within five weeks. However, the symptoms of severe AS can be difficult to detect and may progress rapidly and unpredictably.
"There is an urgent need to change practice and TAVR guidelines for the treatment of aortic stenosis patients, which currently recommend ‘watchful waiting' until symptoms develop," said Philippe Genereux, M.D., director of the structural heart program at Gagnon Cardiovascular Institute, Morristown Medical Center, Morristown, New Jersey. "As we saw in the EARLY TAVR trial, patients originally designated as asymptomatic became symptomatic in sudden and unpredictable ways, underscoring the importance of early evaluation by a heart team to improve patient outcomes and benefit the healthcare system."

Canaccord Genuity Maintains Hold on Edwards Lifesciences, Raises Price Target to $75

Edwards Lifesciences&#8216; (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EW#NYSE">EW</a>) shares are trading higher Thursday after the company reported first-quarter 2025 sales of $1.41 billion.
That&#8217;s almost in line with the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus of $1.40 billion</a> and the management guidance of $1.35 billion—$1.43 billion, up 6.2% year-over-year or <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">7.9% on an adjusted basis</a>.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/04/44652075/us-tariffs-spare-drugmakers-but-threaten-diabetes-device-industry" rel="noreferrer noopener">Trump Tariffs Spare Drugmakers But Threaten Diabetes Device Industry</a>
In the first quarter, the company reported: 
<ul>
<li>An adjusted EPS of 64 cents. It beat the consensus of 60 cents and remained within the management <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/02/43672055/heart-devices-focused-edwards-lifesciences-confident-in-2025-outlook-analyst-sees-long-term-strength" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">guidance of 58-64 cents</a>.</li>
<li>Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) sales of $1.05 billion. That&#8217;s up 3.8% (+5.4% on a constant currency basis, or <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/b44964740/edwards-lifesciences-reports-first-quarter-results" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">6.5% further adjusted)</a>.</li>
<li>Transcatheter Mitral and Tricuspid Therapies (TMTT) first-quarter sales were $115 million, representing growth of 58% year-over-year or more than 60% on a constant currency basis. </li>
<li>In Surgical, first-quarter global sales of $251 million increased 1% over the prior year, or 3% on a constant currency basis.</li>
</ul>
Guidance:&nbsp;Edwards Lifesciences expects second quarter 2025 adjusted EPS of 59-65 cents versus the consensus of 62 cents and revenue of $1.45 billion-$1.53 billion compared to the consensus of $1.46 billion.
The company reaffirmed the fiscal year 2025 adjusted EPS guidance of $2.40-$2.50, compared to the consensus of $2.46, and adjusted operating margins of 27%-28%.
Edwards on Thursday raised its 2025 TMTT sales guidance to $530 to $550 million, from $500 million to $530 million, driven by more favorable foreign exchange and continued business momentum.
The company, TAVR, and Surgical sales growth guidance ranges remain unchanged.
However, on Thursday, the company increased its original total company sales dollar guidance range by $100 million to account for the recent movement in FX rates. Edwards now expects total company sales of $5.7 to $6.1 billion, up from prior guidance of $5.60 billion—$6 billion compared to the consensus of $5.81 billion.
Piper Sandler upgraded Edwards Lifesciences stock, citing a better pathway back to double-digit growth in FY2026.
Analyst Adam C. Maeder writes, &#8220;While shares have traded reasonably well YTD on a relative basis (-5% vs. -8% for S&amp;P 500), EW remains a highly debated name amongst the investment community. We concede our upgrade call could be a bit on the early side.&#8221;
Piper Sandler upgraded the stock from Neutral to Overweight with a price <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/EW/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">target raise from $73 to $80</a>.
&#8220;We also like EW&#8217;s positioning in an uncertain macro environment, namely, the company has little elective procedure exposure, no capex revenue, and a manageable anticipated tariff impact,&#8221; analyst Maeder adds.
Regarding macro/tariffs, William Blair writes that foreign exchange still hurt sales by 1.5% this quarter, but that was about 2% better than expected. The company now expects FX to have no impact on 2025 sales, changing from a previous forecast of a 2.5% drag.
As for tariffs, even though most U.S. supply comes from the company&#8217;s Irvine facility, the 5 cent hit to earnings per share comes from imports out of Singapore, Costa Rica, and, to a lesser extent, Europe.
Baird maintains Edwards Lifesciences with a Neutral, raising the price target from $72 to $75.
Price Action: EW stock is up 6.66% at $75.15 at the last check on Thursday.

Risk-on sentiment dominated Wall Street on Wednesday, as upbeat earnings reports and conciliatory messages from the Trump administration h<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">elped lift investor confidence.</a>
The administration eased market fears on two major fronts that have recently weighed heavily on sentiment. On the trade front, tensions with China appeared to thaw, with reports suggesting the White House is considering reducing tariffs on certain categories of goods.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent added fuel to the rally, stating U.S.-China tariffs are unsustainable and will likely need to be lowered to facilitate meaningful negotiations.
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump offered an abrupt shift in tone toward Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, saying he has no intention to fire him, a remark that helped calm concerns over political interference in monetary policy.
By midday in New York, the S&amp;P 500 was up by nearly 2%, though it had earlier climbed even higher. The Nasdaq 100 outperformed with a 2.5% gain, driven by strength in Magnificent Seven stocks.
Trump's pivot on Powell pushed Treasury yields lower across the curve, with the 30-year yield falling five basis points to 4.83%, after briefly topping 4.90% the previous day.
On the macro front, flash Purchasing Managers&#8217; Index surveys revealed slowing growth momentum in the U.S. economy, as the services sector decelerated sharply following the impact <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44952395/us-business-activity-growth-slows-in-april-as-services-suffer-tariff-shock-markets-rally-as-trade-war-cools">of recent tariff shocks.</a>
The U.S. dollar strengthened, while gold plunged 2.6%, heading for its worst session since November.
Oil prices dropped more than 2% following speculation that OPEC+ may announce a new output hike as early as next month.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) held steady around $93,000.
