“Merit Medical Systems, Inc.

Long focused almost exclusively on revenue growth, the company is now more focused on improving margins, returns and cash flow as part of its three-year strategic plan it rolled out in 2021. Impressively, the company is executing ahead of plan and is on track to achieve its revised financial targets, yet top-line performance remains strong, as evidenced by broad-based 10.5% organic revenue growth in its most recent quarter. Given the prospects for continued outperformance, we maintained our stake in the company.”
