Cutera (CUTR)

Maxim Group analyst Anthony Vendetti maintained a Hold rating on Cutera today. The company’s shares closed yesterday at $21.25, close to its 52-week low of $19.11.

Vendetti wrote:

“Market close, CUTR reported slightly better-than-expected 3Q18 results (compared to the preannouncement), including higher non- GAAP EPS and a narrower GAAP loss per share. As expected, the company lowered its 2018 guidance for non-GAAP EPS and adjusted EBITDA. We previously lowered our estimates in anticipation of these reductions when CUTR reported weaker-than-expected preliminary 3Q18 revenue and reduced its 2018 revenue guidance on October 4, 2018. We are introducing quarterly estimates for 2019.”

According to TipRanks.com, Vendetti is a 5-star analyst with an average return of 11.2% and a 55.2% success rate. Vendetti covers the Healthcare sector, focusing on stocks such as Ellex Medical Lasers Limited, Restoration Robotics Inc, and Xtant Medical Holdings.
