Cochlear Limited (ASX: COH)

The first ASX healthcare share that Morgans is a fan of is this hearing solutions company. The broker likes Cochlear due to its leadership position in implantable hearing solutions and the improving outlook for demand. Morgans believes the latter is pointing to an improving earnings profile.

The broker explained:

Cochlear maintains a dominant position in the implantable hearing solutions segment. While we continue to believe a full recovery from Covid-based disruptions still has time to play out, improving demand and strong pipeline, coupled with management's increasing confidence, is all suggestive of an improving earnings profile.

Morgans has an add rating and a $233.20 price target on Cochlear shares.

ResMed Inc (ASX: RMD)

Another ASX healthcare share that Morgans rates as a buy this month is sleep treatment-focused medical device company, ResMed. Its analysts rate ResMed highly due to its very positive long-term outlook. The broker says this is being underpinned by the company's digital platform.

Morgans analysts commented:

While we believe the next few quarters will likely be volatile, as Covid-related demand for ventilators continues to slow and core sleep apnoea volumes gradually lift, nothing changes our medium/longer term view that the company remains well-placed as it builds a unique, patient-centric, connected-care digital platform that addresses the main pinch points across the healthcare value chain.

Morgans currently has an add rating and a $40.46 price target on ResMed shares.
