Investors should be bearish about investing in ResMed Inc. for these reasons:

  • Despite the positive outlook, Wolfe Research has maintained an "underperform" rating on ResMed Inc., indicating potential concerns about the stock's performance relative to the market.
  • Insider selling has been observed, with executives selling shares worth over $14 million in the last ninety days, which could signal a lack of confidence in the stock's short-term performance.
