Edwards Lifesciences vs Hey Telo

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.
