In a report released today, Michael Matson from Needham assigned a Hold rating to Cantel Medical Corp (NYSE: CMD). The company’s shares opened today at $109.09.
Matson noted:
“CMD’s F3Q18 revenue missed and EPS met consensus. Overall organic revenue growth slowed to 7.6% CC in F3Q18 from 10.0% CC in F2Q18. The revenue miss was driven by Endoscopy, which slowed from F2Q18 despite facing an easier comp. Water Purification growth improved from F2Q18 and and beat our estimate while Healthcare Disposables growth slowed slightly from F2Q18 and met our estimate. Adjusted gross margin was up 40 bps Y/Y due mainly to product mix and adjusted operating margin was down 50 bps Y/Y. We maintain our Hold given the slowing Endoscopy growth and CMD’s valuation (despite today’s decline, CMD still trades at a 39.7x vs. its small/mid-cap GARP peers median of 33.3x).”
