What they said
Edwards Lifesciences reported a stronger-than-expected Q2 2026 with total sales of $1.74 billion, up 12.5% year-over-year, and adjusted EPS of $0.78. Management raised full-year sales guidance: total company sales to $6.6B–$6.9B (10%–11% growth), TAVR sales to $4.75B–$5.0B (8%–9%) and TMTT guidance to $760M–$780M. Full-year adjusted EPS guidance of $2.95–$3.05 was reiterated, though the company now assumes an effective tax rate at the high end of its prior 16%–19% range due to Pillar Two and California R&D credit changes. Management highlighted broad-based strength across TAVR, mitral, tricuspid and surgical therapies, with notable momentum from PASCAL, EVOQUE and early adoption of SAPIEN M3. Key upcoming catalysts include PROGRESS trial data at TCT, a draft/final CMS NCD that could enable asymptomatic coverage and streamline access, and an expected U.S. PASCAL tricuspid approval in Q4. Management presented confident tone, emphasized long-term target of ~10% company sales growth and durable growth drivers across multiple platforms.
Guidance
Raised full-year sales guidance: total company sales $6.6B to $6.9B (10%–11% growth). TAVR sales $4.75B to $5.0B (8%–9%). TMTT $760M to $780M (raised from $740M–$780M). Maintained full-year adjusted EPS guidance of $2.95 to $3.05 but now assumes effective tax rate at high end of 16%–19% due to Pillar Two and California R&D credit changes.
Risks flagged
Higher-than-expected tax burden (Pillar Two, California R&D credit restrictions), challenging second-half 2026 comps and seasonality, dependence on regulatory outcomes (CMS NCD final memo, PROGRESS trial results, PASCAL tricuspid approval), potential adoption/behavioral hurdles for new indications (asymptomatic/moderate AS), and broader macro/healthcare uncertainties noted in forward-looking statements.
