Company Report

Narrow-Moat Steris’ Leadership in Sterilization Positions the Company for Future Growth

Steris is a leading provider of sterilization products and services to healthcare organizations, biopharma producers, and device manufacturers. The company also has a strong presence across operating rooms and endoscopy centers. Over the past few years, Steris has closed several acquisitions to enhance its healthcare offerings. With more procedures shifting to an outpatient setting, we think Steris’ expanded product portfolio positions itself as a “one-stop shop” that supplies mission-critical sterilization equipment and services. The burgeoning ambulatory surgery centers and physicians’ offices should benefit the most when sourcing from Steris, as they don’t necessarily have the capacity to deal with multiple vendors.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

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

Bears

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