BTIG Sticks to Its Hold Rating for Tactile Systems Technology (TCMD)


BTIG analyst Sean Lavin maintained a Hold rating on Tactile Systems Technology (TCMD) today. The company’s shares closed yesterday at $55.59.

Lavin noted:

“Another quarter, another sales beat. We previewed this as likely being a strong quarter for TCMD. Sales of $37.6M exceeded consensus by ~$4.5M. After excluding the benefit of adopting ASC 842, revenue was still ~$1.5M above consensus and ~30% higher y/y. Guidance was increased by $7M for 2019, including ~$6M of benefit from the new accounting standard. The new 2019 guidance range implies growth of 25-27% y/y – a level we think is impressive this early in the year, but some may wonder if it could have been raised more materially than the beat. What’s more, mgmt noted that the intention is to position TCMD to grow 20+% y/y beyond 2019. While the impact of the accounting change may distract a bit in Tuesday trading, we view this as another strong quarter for TCMD and expect continued topline outperformance.”
