Catalyst Criteria — MEASURED. Time works for a long, so a dated event is not required to own a compounder. It is required to monitor one.
Compiled 2026-07-29. Every date below is either filed with the SEC, announced by the company, or explicitly marked as an estimate from the company's own historical reporting pattern. Nothing is invented. Where no date exists, that is stated rather than filled in.
| Date | Event | Why it matters | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tue 4 Aug 2026, after close | Q2 2026 results; call 4:30pm ET | The dominant near-term event. Tests (a) whether FY2026 guidance of $727–757m is held, raised or cut; (b) whether the Q1 operating-margin collapse to 7.6% was a one-quarter investment step or a level; (c) the product/service mix in the segment-expense table. Q2-2025 revenue was $157.370m, so the YoY comparator is set. | Company announcement 2026-07-21 (StockTitan) |
| 1 Jun 2028 | $459,996,000 convertible senior notes mature (1.50%, conversion price $94.00, 10.6388 shares per $1,000) | Self-liquidating above $94; a $460m cash call below it. Spot is $76.35. | FY2025 10-K / Q1-26 10-Q, R42 |
| By 31 Dec 2027 | Somerville HQ purchase option: $374.590m | The company judges exercise "reasonably certain" and has capitalised a $343.8m finance-lease liability and a $334.5m ROU asset on that judgement. Exercised after that date, the price rises on a formula tied to future payments. | Q1-26 10-Q, Note 10; 8-K 2026-01-12 |
| From 1 Jan 2028 (if the option is not exercised) | Somerville base rent begins at $23.9m/yr, +2% annually for three years then +3%, to January 2044 | The alternative to a $374.6m cash outflow, and the reason the downside case is not a going-concern case. | 8-K 2026-01-12, Item 1.01 |
| From Jul 2026 | CIBC term loan begins monthly amortisation; matures Jul 2027; $60.0m principal | Covenants: minimum liquidity the greater of the trailing-four-month adjusted EBITDA loss or $10.0m; and total net revenue ≥75% of the revenue plan presented to CIBC. The revenue covenant converts a growth miss into a credit event. | Q1-26 10-Q, R45 |
| On or before 1 Jan 2028 | Headquarters transition from Andover to Somerville (498,286 sq ft) | Execution and one-off relocation cost. $0.2m of "headquarters relocation costs" already ran through Q1-26 SG&A. | 8-K 2026-01-12 |
| Through 29 Dec 2026 | HRSA/UNOS OPTN operating contract runs in four optional three-month extensions under the agreement effective 30 Dec 2025 | Governance of the allocation system TransMedics' NOP operates inside. The 10-K's own assessment of the impact is "uncertain at this time." | FY2025 10-K, Item 1 |
| Timing | Event | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Early Q3 2026 | CHOPS (Controlled Hypothermic Organ Preservation System) IDE implementation | Management-stated target, reported by a secondary source (Seeking Alpha). CHOPS was unveiled at ISHLT in Q1 2026 and exists to enable enrolment of the control arms of ENHANCE Heart Part B and DENOVO Lung. Not a revenue event. |
| 2026 | European NOP launch; PAD Aviation (Germany) investment closes | Definitive agreement announced 2026-05-05. "Intent to create the first dedicated European transplant logistic network." No completion date is disclosed. Note this is a logistics build and by construction dilutes blended gross margin. |
| Q4 2025 → ongoing | ENHANCE Heart trial enrolment | FDA IDE granted August 2025; trial initiated Q4 2025. Multi-part, prospective, seeking superiority claims versus static cold storage. No enrolment-completion or readout date is disclosed. |
| 2026 → ongoing | DENOVO Lung trial | FDA IDE granted January 2026. 10-K: "Enrollment is expected to commence following site activation and regulatory readiness." Enrolment had not commenced as of the FY2025 10-K. No dates disclosed. |
| No date | OCS Kidney | First appears in company disclosure at the FY2025 release (2026-02-24). No IDE, no trial, no timeline disclosed. |
| No date | Gen-3 OCS platform | "We intend to develop newer versions of the technology." Aspirational; no dates. |
TransMedics has reported on a stable cadence. These are extrapolations of that cadence, not announced dates, and must be replaced with the company's confirmation before being relied on.
| Estimated | Event | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| late Oct 2026 (est.) | Q3 2026 results | Q3 reported 2024-10-28, 2025-10-29 |
| late Feb 2027 (est.) | FY2026 results and initial FY2027 guidance | FY reported 2025-02-27, 2026-02-24. This is the print that sets the FY2027 growth rate the 12-month target rests on — and the FY2027 revenue figure used in that target is a house estimate, not consensus. |
| May 2027 (est.) | Q1 2027 results | Q1 reported 2025-05-08, 2026-05-05 |
| ~Feb 2027 (est.) | FY2026 10-K — ICFR material-weakness remediation status | The weakness was first identified in the FY2024 audit and remained open at 31 Dec 2025. A third consecutive open year would be a materially different fact. Management states a remediation plan is "in the process of" implementation, with no completion date given. |
Stated explicitly, because a fabricated catalyst date is worse than an absent calendar:
