Executive summary

Medical Imaging Equipment splits between a broad adjacent-imaging group (89% of approved names) and a single radiation-instrumentation name, Mirion Technologies, priced at 13.5x versus a 7.9x discount-end multiple. Among the five rated companies, valuation clusters around a 9.2x median and tracks margin and earnings durability more than scale. Precedent deals span $140M to $18.3B, confirming multiple paths to strategic relevance. The evidence points to positioning and earnings quality, not size, as the driver of premium valuation.

Key findings

  • 8 of 9 approved names (89%) sit in the broad adjacent-imaging group.
  • Radiation instrumentation (MIR) commands 13.5x vs a 7.9x discount-end multiple.
  • Margin alone doesn't sort valuation; only some high-margin names sit above 9.2x.
  • Precedent deals span $140M to $18.3B, spanning platform and capability strategies.

    01 · THE BOTTOM LINE

    Medical Imaging Equipment Splits Between Broad Platforms and Radiation Instrumentation

    This page summarizes the report's central finding that the sector divides between broad imaging platforms and radiation instrumentation.

    Of the nine approved companies, eight sit in the broad adjacent-imaging group — 89% of the set — spanning established platforms and newer point-of-care models. The one radiation-instrumentation name, Mirion Technologies (MIR), trades at 13.5x forward EV / EBITDA, well above the 7.9x seen at the discount end of the adjacent group. Margin alone doesn't explain the spread: among the five rated names, valuation and profitability line up for some but not others. Precedent deals span both ends too, from Hologic at $18.3B to View Point Medical at $140M. So what: scale isn't the story here — positioning and earnings durability are what separate the premium names from the rest.

    02 · MARKET MAP

    Broad Imaging Holds the Set, While Focused Radiation Exposure Stands Apart

    This slide groups the nine approved companies by business segment and shows median EV/EBITDA (CY2027E) per group.

    We've grouped the approved universe by business segment to see where the premium actually sits. Broad imaging carries most of the names, while radiation instrumentation stands apart as a distinct commercial model. Group medians here are calculated only on rated names, since not every company has an eligible multiple. So what: the market map shows this is a sector with one label but two different investment cases underneath it.

    One Sector Label Covers Two Distinct Commercial Models

    This slide details how one sector label covers two distinct commercial models.

    The sector-level label hides real differences in how these businesses generate revenue and defend margin. Full company-level detail sits in the appendix, but the segment view here already shows why a single multiple can't describe the group. So what: understanding the commercial model behind each name is a precondition for reading its valuation correctly.

    03 · PUBLIC MARKET VALUATION

    Focused Positioning Holds the Top While Broader Names Fill the Lower End

    This slide ranks the five rated companies by EV/EBITDA (CY2027E) against a 9.2x sector median.

    Among the five rated companies, focused positioning holds the top of the range while broader names fill the lower end, against a sector median of 9.2x. Every multiple shown here sits on the same CY2027E basis, so the ranking is directly comparable across names. Tier zones are our own groupings cut at the rated set's quartiles, not a market convention. So what: the range shows real dispersion, and the top isn't defined by size — it's defined by how the market prices forward earnings quality.

The premium end is 13.5x and contains the focused radiation instrumentation name. Its positioning differs from the broader adjacent businesses at the lower end. The lower end is broader. The discount end is 7.9x across two adjacent-group names. Their placement shows that equipment breadth and profitability do not translate into the same forward valuation. Forward pricing raises the bar. The ranked page shows 9 approved names, with 5 names with a forward EV / EBITDA estimate. Because the multiple already credits forecast earnings, premium positioning also requires confidence in durability.

    03 · VALUATION DRIVERS

    Higher Margins Sit with the Top of the Range, and Business Quality Shows up in the Forward Earnings

    This slide splits median EV/EBITDA (CY2027E) by revenue-growth and EBITDA-margin cohorts among rated names.

    Higher margins tend to sit with the top of the range, and business quality shows up in the forward earnings multiple. These cohort splits are association, not causation — we're describing what the data shows, not claiming one drives the other. So what: margin and growth profile are useful screens for where a name is likely to sit in the valuation range, even if they don't fully explain it.

Medical Imaging Equipment Coverage | September 2026 | Confidential | Not investment advice Sources & methodology 9 Profitability Supports Positioning Without Sorting the Range Cleanly The valuation-and-margin map contains names on both sides of each dividing line. Margin therefore needs to be considered with growth, mix and the durability of the earnings base. Installed Base Creates the Foundation for Recurring Economics A large, active fleet can support service, parts and consumables pull-through. Fleet age, modality mix and replacement-cycle position shape the quality of that opportunity. Service Attach Turns Equipment Placements into Durable Relationships Renewal, uptime and first-time-fix performance influence the value of the field service organisation. The important distinction is the economics that follow the initial system placement. Software Upgrades Can Deepen Returns from Existing Hardware Paid software and AI attach can expand the revenue opportunity within an installed base. The commercial test is whether customers adopt upgrades through normal budget and tender cycles.

    03 · SITUATION MAP

    The Five Forward-Earnings Names Occupy Four Different Operating Positions

    This slide places the five rated companies into four quadrants cut on EV/EBITDA versus the 9.2x median and EBITDA margin versus the 18% median.

    The five forward-earnings names split across four different operating positions once we cut on valuation versus the 9.2x sector median and margin versus the 18% covered median. These are observations, not recommendations — the boundaries are the cohort's own medians. So what: no single name occupies the same quadrant twice, which tells us the sector doesn't reward one strategy over another so much as it rewards clarity of position.

    03 · THE AGENDA

    Revenue Mix, Pricing and Build-Versus-Buy Are the Choices the Peer Valuations Point Toward

    This slide frames revenue mix, pricing and build-versus-buy as the strategic questions the peer valuations raise.

    The valuation spread points toward three questions any owner or acquirer should resolve: revenue mix, pricing power, and whether to build or buy the next capability. This is our advisory judgment grounded in the cohort data shown earlier, not investment advice. So what: these are the decisions that determine which side of the valuation range a company ends up on.

What changes the answer: The route gains weight when fleet utilisation is healthy but recurring participation remains underdeveloped. Expand Paid Upgrades on Existing Systems Software and AI attach can add value to the installed base without relying solely on new equipment placements. What changes the answer: The route gains weight when customers show adoption through existing procurement and budget channels. Improve Field Service Productivity Uptime, first-time-fix performance and field service cost can improve the economics of the service book. What changes the answer: The route gains weight when service demand is durable but delivery cost constrains profitability. Choose Build Versus Buy by Capability Gap Detector, tube, navigation and software gaps can be addressed internally or through a focused transaction. What changes the answer: The answer changes with technical differentiation, regulatory timing and access to the target customer channel.

    04 · DEAL CASE STUDIES

    The Transaction Record Supports More than One Route to Strategic Relevance

    This slide walks through three precedent transactions with disclosed terms as illustrative case studies.

    We've selected three of the eleven transactions with disclosed terms as case studies, with multiples shown on LTM financials at announcement. Hologic was recorded at $18.3B and View Point Medical at $140M, illustrating how differently sized deals both support strategic relevance. These deal multiples sit on a different basis than our CY2027E public comparables, so we don't draw a direct spread between them. So what: the transaction record confirms more than one route to strategic relevance — scale is one path, but focused capability is clearly another.

    For Owners, More Durable Forward Earnings Are Associated with the Higher Multiples

    This slide sets out the questions durable forward earnings put on the table for owners over the next twelve months.

    For owners, more durable forward earnings are associated with the higher multiples we saw in the valuation section. This is directional, our own view drawn from the analysis in this report, not a recommendation. So what: the practical takeaway is to treat earnings durability as a lever management can actually influence, not just a market outcome to observe.

    Sources, Assumptions and Data Quality

    This slide explains the report's sources, assumptions and data-quality treatment.

    Every figure in this report links to the record it was taken from, and where no link exists, the appendix names the source and the basis on which it was read. This is where we document what was included, what was excluded, and why. So what: a client can trace any number in this deck back to its origin.

Where a figure has no link, the appendix names its source and the basis on which it was read. Medical Imaging Equipment Coverage | September 2026 | Confidential | Not investment advice 20 VALUATION BASIS Primary valuation basis: EV / EBITDA on CY2027E consensus (5 of 9 companies eligible; multiples failing the platform's plausibility gates are excluded, never plotted). EV / EBITDA on CY2027E is the lead convention: it is the sector-appropriate prior for Medical Imaging Equipment and it clears the coverage gate with 5 of 9 companies (56%). EV / Revenue, P / E are carried as a cross-check. The set earns: 5 of the 6 companies with a reported forward EBITDA carry a meaningful one, so the profit multiple leads and a revenue multiple would understate what the market is pricing. DATA QUALITY & EXCLUSIONS 24 records were excluded or quarantined by the platform's validation gates (unit errors, implausible ratios, ineligible securities and classification failures); the full ledger ships in the companion tables and never feeds a statistic in this report. DEFINITIVE VS DIRECTIONAL Definitive content is disclosed or consensus data passed through stated arithmetic. Directional content — tier boundaries, situation cuts, "why it matters" commentary, the agenda pages — is NeuraCap analyst judgment and is labeled as such where it appears. WHAT THIS REPORT IS NOT This report characterises a sector. It does not recommend buying, selling or holding any security, and no statement in it should be read as investment advice or a price target.

Primary valuation basis and how it was chosen

Primary valuation basis: EV / EBITDA on CY2027E consensus (5 of 9 companies eligible; multiples failing the platform's plausibility gates are excluded, never plotted). EV / EBITDA on CY2027E is the lead convention: it is the sector-appropriate prior for Medical Imaging Equipment and it clears the coverage gate with 5 of 9 companies (56%). EV / Revenue, P / E are carried as a cross-check. The set earns: 5 of the 6 companies with a reported forward EBITDA carry a meaningful one, so the profit multiple leads and a revenue multiple would understate what the market is pricing. The basis is selected in two steps: the industry's customary valuation conventions set the order of preference, and each convention is then tested for coverage — the share of companies with a valid, plausibility-checked multiple on the chosen period. A convention is used only when enough companies carry it; the best-covered convention is used, and disclosed, when none clears the threshold. Coverage measured for this report — EV / EBITDA: 5 of 9 companies; EV / rEVenue: 9 of 9 companies; P/E: 5 of 9 companies. 1 company shows a non-meaningful EV / EBITDA denominator and is excluded from that statistic. 3 companies show a non-meaningful P / E denominator and are excluded from that statistic.

How the multiples and statistics are computed

Enterprise value (EV) is market capitalisation at the as-of date plus total debt minus cash and equivalents from the latest reported balance sheet, reconciled against the platform's stored value and disclosed where the two differ. Forward multiples divide EV (or the share price for P/E) by the consensus estimate for the stated calendar period; trailing multiples use the last twelve months of reported figures from SEC filings. A multiple with a negative or immaterial denominator is treated as not meaningful and excluded from every statistic. Cohort statistics are medians and quartiles over the rated set only; a group median with fewer than three observations is shown as the single company's figure and labelled as such. Valuation tiers cut the rated set at its quartiles (tiers cut at the rated set's quartiles: Premium ≥11.1x, Core 8.1x–11.1x, Discount <8.1x — NeuraCap groupings). Revenue growth compares consecutive calendar-year consensus revenue; EBITDA margin divides consensus EBITDA by consensus revenue for the same period. Figures shown in this report and the calculation behind each: 9.2x = median(ev_ebitda CY2027E) (5 rated companies) · 13.5x = median(ev_ebitda CY2027E) within Premium tier (n=1) · 10.1x = median(ev_ebitda CY2027E) within Core tier (n=2) · 7.9x = median(ev_ebitda CY2027E) within Discount tier (n=2) · 31% = median Rule of 40 score (revenue growth + EBITDA margin) (n=5)

Precedent transactions: what is in the record and why

The precedent record holds the M&A transactions in Medical Imaging Equipment recorded from SEC filings (8-K announcements and the documents they reference), newest first, with each value and multiple linked to the exact passage in the filing that states it. 22 transactions were recorded for this industry; 11 are shown. 11 recorded transactions with neither a disclosed value nor a multiple are omitted because they say nothing about price; they remain in the companion workbook. Deal multiples are enterprise value over the target's last-twelve-month revenue or EBITDA at announcement, as disclosed; they are not restated to the public basis and no spread to the public multiples is claimed. Before a transaction reaches the record it passes a screen for mirrored or duplicate filings of the same deal, for divestitures where the filer is the seller rather than the buyer, for carve-outs recorded under the parent's name, and for values whose citation describes something other than the price paid (a debt raise, a termination fee); such records are corrected or excluded and the correction is noted. Data-quality notes on this record: 13 × deal value unit unresolved; 14 × no evidence record; 3 × duplicate precedent id; 2 × divestiture roles reassigned. Case studies lead with the 3 richest stories — disclosed value, a readable multiple, newest first.

Sources

Company financials and transaction terms come from the companies' own SEC filings on EDGAR (10-K, 10-Q and 8-K documents), linked from each figure in the report. Forward figures are analyst consensus estimates for the calendar periods shown. Share prices and market capitalisations are market data as of September 28, 2026. Treasury yields are published by the U.S. Department of the Treasury. 407 source documents stand behind this report; by publisher domain: sec.gov, home.treasury.gov (1). Every figure on every page is traceable to one of these records; nothing in the report is derived from outside data.
