Competitive advantage assessment

Key strengths

  • Elite Gross Margins Gross margin quality is top-tier vs peers (score 0.83). This signals strong consumable attach-rate economics.
  • Superior Capital Returns Capital return quality is top-tier (score 0.85). High ROIC indicates the business is reinvesting at attractive rates.

Key risks

  • Declining FCF Margin FCF trend score is negative (score 0.16). Declining FCF margin warrants scrutiny of capital allocation discipline.
  • Operating Margin Compression Operating margin trend is negative (score 0.22). Sustained compression would reduce the commercial moat.

The dashed ring is the peer median. Defense scores are percentile ranks against peers, so 50 is roughly the typical company in this group.

How INMD scores on the Medical Devices & Diagnostics defenses

Pricing Power & Consumable Moat

Score 75 · 25% of the moat score

In MedTech, pricing power is rarely about the machine — it is about what the machine consumes.

R&D Pipeline & Capital Returns

Score 79 · 20% of the moat score

Research spending is how a device company keeps its installed base current, but spending alone proves nothing.

FCF Quality & Cash Conversion

Score 60 · 20% of the moat score

MedTech companies grow by acquisition, and the resulting intangible amortisation depresses reported earnings without consuming any cash.

Commercial Execution

Score 68 · 15% of the moat score

Devices are sold into hospitals and labs through committees, tenders and long qualification cycles, which makes the sales organisation expensive and hard to replicate.

Capital Structure & Resilience

Score 92 · 12% of the moat score

Serial acquirers carry debt, and the question is whether the cash flows underneath it are dependable enough to service it through a downturn.

Growth Durability

Score 55 · 8% of the moat score

Growth durability separates an expanding installed base from a good product cycle.

Understanding INMD's moat

InMode Ltd. (INMD) scores 72 out of 100 on the StatsAlpha Moat Map, which rates its competitive advantage as moderate. It ranks #16 of 160 scored companies in Medical Devices, the top 10%. The score is a weighted composite of 6 competitive defenses, each measured against industry peers of 159 companies in Medical Devices. Its strongest defense is Capital Structure & Resilience (92/100) and its weakest is Growth Durability (55/100).

How does InMode Ltd. compare with other Medical Devices companies?

InMode Ltd. ranks #16 of 160 scored companies in Medical Devices by moat score. The widest moat in Medical Devices is iRadimed Corporation (IRMD) at 83/100. The companies ranked closest are Tactile Systems Technology, Inc (TCMD) at 73 just above it and Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc. (ZBH) at 72 just below it.

How is the moat score calculated?

Each company is scored with an industry-specific template — Medical Devices & Diagnostics in this case, chosen because the defenses that matter to a bank are not the ones that matter to a software company. Every defense combines several financial signals, and each signal is measured as a percentile against a peer group of 159 companies in Medical Devices. The defenses are then weighted to produce the overall score out of 100.

Why is InMode Ltd. scored with the Medical Devices & Diagnostics template?

Medical device and diagnostics companies place an instrument once and then sell the consumables, reagents and service that instrument needs for the next decade. The economics are a razor-and-blade model wrapped in regulatory approval and clinician habit, so the MedTech template scores the durability of that installed base rather than the size of any single product launch.

Which competitive defenses are measured for InMode Ltd.?

The Medical Devices & Diagnostics template measures 6 defenses, and INMD scores: Pricing Power & Consumable Moat (75), R&D Pipeline & Capital Returns (79), FCF Quality & Cash Conversion (60), Commercial Execution (68), Capital Structure & Resilience (92), Growth Durability (55). Each is scored independently as a percentile against peers, so a company can be strong on one and weak on another — the overall score reflects how those defenses are weighted for this industry.
