What the Model Says for TMDX Stock
We analyzed TransMedics through its transformation into the dominant provider of integrated transplant solutions, combining OCS technology, clinical services, and dedicated logistics infrastructure.
The company is expanding beyond the U.S. market with plans to replicate its successful NOP model internationally.
- The Italy program will establish up to four hubs across Northern and Southern Italy and build a European air and ground transport logistics network.
- Management sees significant revenue-generating opportunities by providing dedicated transplant logistics services to meet growing European demand.
- TransMedics now serves transplant centers across all three organ segments.
- This broad exposure provides resilience while the company’s next-generation heart and lung clinical trials create additional adoption catalysts beginning in late 2025.
Using a forecast of 24.5% annual revenue growth and 19.1% operating margins, our model projects the stock will rise to $181 within 1.9 years. This assumes a 51.2x price-to-earnings multiple.
That represents compression from TransMedics’ historical P/E average of 55.4x over the past year. The lower multiple acknowledges execution risks from international expansion and potential moderation in U.S. transplant volume growth.
The real value lies in sustaining domestic market-share gains, successfully launching international operations, and advancing next-generation clinical programs.

Our Valuation Assumptions
TIKR’s Valuation Model lets you plug in your own assumptions for a company’s revenue growth, operating margins, and P/E multiple, and calculates the stock’s expected returns.
Here’s what we used for TMDX stock:
1. Revenue Growth: 24.5%
TransMedics’ growth centers on three drivers.
First, continued U.S. market penetration with liver revenue growing 41% year-over-year in Q3. The company sees significant runway remaining in DBD and DCD liver adoption despite already holding substantial market share.
Second, the ENHANCE Heart and DENOVO Lung clinical trials will begin enrolling patients in Q4 2025, with full IDE approval expected in early 2026. These revenue-generating trials should accelerate the adoption of heart and lung devices throughout 2026.
Third, international expansion, beginning with Italy in the first half of 2026, adds a new growth vector. Management expects the European logistics opportunity alone to generate significant revenue as the company replicates its U.S. model.
2. Operating margins: 19.1%
TransMedics is scaling profitability while investing in growth. The company delivered 16% operating margin in Q3, up from 4% in the prior year. This performance reflects strong execution across a 32% revenue increase.
Management expects operating margins to reach or approach 30% by 2028. Near-term margin fluctuation is expected as the company invests in international infrastructure, R&D programs, including OCS Kidney development, and a new global headquarters facility.
3. Exit P/E Multiple: 51.2x
The market values TransMedics at 51.9x earnings currently. We assume the P/E will compress modestly to 51.2x over our forecast period.
The complexity of international expansion and clinical trial execution risks creates uncertainty. The company must successfully launch operations in Italy while maintaining U.S. growth momentum and advancing multiple product development programs.
As TransMedics demonstrates international scalability and clinical trial success, the company should maintain a premium multiple reflecting its leadership position and the significant barriers to replicating its integrated platform.

What Happens If Things Go Better or Worse?
Medical technology companies face market adoption cycles and regulatory hurdles. Here’s how TransMedics stock might perform under different scenarios through December 2027:
- Low Case: If revenue growth slows to 16.1% and net income margins compress to 17.2%, investors still see a 39.3% total return (8.8% annually).
- Mid Case: With 17.9% growth and 18.4% margins, we expect a total return of 86.4% (17.2% annually).
- High Case: If international expansion accelerates and TransMedics maintains 19.3% margins while growing at 19.7%, total returns could reach 142.8% (25.5% annually).

Even the low case delivers solid returns, suggesting limited downside at current levels.
