Analysts Offer Insights on Healthcare Companies: Inogen (APHB), Radius Health (RDUS) and Ampliphi Biosciences (APHB)


There’s a lot to be optimistic about in the Healthcare sector as 3 analysts just weighed in on Inogen (NASDAQ: INGN), Radius Health (NASDAQ: RDUS) and Ampliphi Biosciences (AMEX: APHB) with bullish sentiments.

Inogen (NASDAQ: INGN)

In a report issued on June 11, Michael Matson from Needham reiterated a Buy rating on Inogen (NASDAQ: INGN), with a price target of $215. The company’s shares opened today at $185, close to its 52-week high of $193.14.

Matson observed:

“We hosted for management meetings in Boston and Toronto last week. Recent sales and marketing investments (CRM, training, and new hires) are paying off with higher growth. We think INGN’s DTC channel is a competitive advantage and one that is difficult for competitors to copy. INGN is increasingly spending its R&D dollars on research as opposed to development; we expect it to launch the G5 next year. The US POC market remains significantly underpenetrated and international markets, particularly emerging markets, have minimal penetration. Despite facing some much larger competitors, we believe INGN has the best POCs and that it can maintain its lead. We expect INGN to sustain very strong revenue growth for the next few years and to continue to deliver upside to consensus estimates and we reiterate our Strong Buy rating.”

According to TipRanks.com, Matson is a 5-star analyst with an average return of 10.7% and a 63.3% success rate. Matson covers the Healthcare sector, focusing on stocks such as Boston Scientific Corp, Cardiovascular Systems, and Zimmer Biomet Holdings.
