About
The Cooper Companies, Inc. is a San Ramon, California-based medical device company — publicly traded on the NASDAQ (NASDAQ: COO) as an S&P 500 Health Care component — operating two segments: CooperVision (soft contact lenses for vision correction globally — the second-largest contact lens manufacturer worldwide) and CooperSurgical (fertility and women's health medical devices including IVF laboratory consumables, assisted reproductive technology products, and gynecological surgical instruments) through approximately 15,000 employees in 130 countries. In fiscal year 2024 (ending October 2024), Cooper Companies reported revenues of $3.87 billion (+9% organic growth), with CooperVision generating $2.56 billion from daily, biweekly, and monthly contact lens sales across sphere, toric (astigmatism-correcting), and multifocal (presbyopia-correcting) lens categories, and CooperSurgical generating $1.31 billion from fertility clinic consumables and women's health surgical products. CEO Albert White has executed CooperVision's strategy of capturing the premium daily silicone hydrogel lens market: silicone hydrogel material (higher oxygen permeability improving eye health versus conventional hydrogel) commands a 20-30% price premium over conventional daily lenses, and Cooper's MyDay (premium daily silicone hydrogel) and clariti (value silicone hydrogel) brands compete across price tiers against Johnson & Johnson Vision's Acuvue Oasys and CIBA Vision's AIR OPTIX brands for the global market shift toward dailies — the fastest-growing contact lens modality as patients prefer the convenience and hygiene of discarding lenses after each day's wear.

About
Edwards Lifesciences Corporation is an Irvine, California-based structural heart disease and hemodynamic monitoring technology company — publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: EW) as an S&P 500 Healthcare component — designing, developing, and manufacturing devices for heart valve replacement, transcatheter heart valve therapy, and cardiac critical care through approximately 15,800 employees in 100+ countries. In fiscal year 2024, Edwards reported total revenue of $5.44 billion (+8.6% year-over-year), driven by its dominant Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) franchise commanding approximately 60% global market share and 70%+ US market share. The Transcatheter Mitral and Tricuspid Therapies (TMTT) segment demonstrated exceptional growth, with Q4 TMTT revenue reaching $105 million (+88% year-over-year), as the EVOQUE tricuspid replacement system gained commercial momentum. In 2024, Edwards executed a major strategic transformation: divesting its Critical Care segment (hemodynamic monitoring) to Becton Dickinson for $4.2 billion — using the proceeds to fund two acquisitions: JenaValve Technology ($1.2B combined, expanding TAVR to high-risk patients with aortic regurgitation) and Endotronix. The company concentrates its entire focus on structural heart disease therapies.
