- Medtronic highlighted four “generational” growth drivers—pulsed field ablation (CAS), Symplicity renal denervation, AltaViva tibial neuromodulation, and Hugo surgical robotics—each representing >$1 billion in potential revenue; CAS is on track for $2 billion of trailing revenue by H1 FY 2027.
- The company is pursuing margin expansion via the Medtronic Performance System (5% gross cost of goods improvement) and notes that R&D growth has outpaced revenue growth in the past two quarters.

- Medtronic highlighted four generational growth drivers: cardiac ablation solutions with pulsed field ablation targeting a $13 billion market and $2 billion CAS revenue by H1 FY 2027; Symplicity renal denervation with 18 million eligible U.S. patients, 1% penetration = multi-billion $/yr; AltaViva tibial neuromodulation addressing 5 million treatable UUI patients, 1% penetration = $1 billion; and Hugo robotic surgery, now FDA-cleared for urology with planned hernia and gynecology expansions.
- Operational enhancements via the Medtronic Performance System have delivered 5% gross COGS improvement and all-time low backorder levels, underpinning margin expansion goals.
- R&D spend grew faster than revenue in Q1–Q2, reaching 8.5% of sales and is targeted to increase to ~10%, prioritizing these generational opportunities, other high-growth franchises, and core cash-generating businesses.
