pro medicus is one of the most interesting companies on the asx - and one of the best performing stocks, having risen around 1,000% in the last five years.

yesterday, the medical imaging software company announced record revenue and profit, off the back of a stack of new contracts, particularly in the us. 

but while its share price initially rose, it closed down more than three per cent - a consequence of the stock being priced to perfection, and the result being just a touch below expectations.

dr sam hupert speaks to ausbiz's nadine blayney about the result, staying ahead of the competition, and succession planning at the business he co-founded 40 years ago.
