Bulls Say

  • Steris’ technological leadership in applied sterilization technologies, or AST, could attract new customers lacking the capacity to navigate the latest regulatory challenges.

  • Steris’ track record of supplying mission-critical sterilization, operating room, and endoscopy equipment creates durable switching costs for healthcare providers with stable long-term growth trends.

  • An aging population and increased adherence to preventive screening could increase endoscopy utilization.

Bears Say

  • Steris’ acquisitions may not always achieve promised synergies, especially for businesses operating in niche verticals like dental or renal.

  • Innovation in sterilization and bioprocessing processes may impair the attractiveness of Steris’ current healthcare and life sciences offerings.

  • Uncertainty with EtO regulations may affect the expansion plans of applied sterilization technologies globally.
