Carl Zeiss Meditec has seen a 30%+ decline due to earnings and margin drops, but remains a strong market leader with significant long-term upside. Despite current underperformance, the company's strategic R&D investments and growing recurring revenue position it well for future recovery and growth. The company's valuation has dipped, but I believe it offers a compelling long-term upside, with potential annualized returns of 15-30%.

Carl Zeiss Meditec has seen a significant increase in stock performance, up over 29% in less than 3 months. The company has shown strong top-line growth but a decline in EBIT and EBIT margin.
