“. We reiterate our Overweight rating on OMCL shares and increase our price target to $91 from $80. We recently hosted a small group of investors at the company’s Executive Briefing Center, outside of Pittsburgh, PA. The center is used as a critical part of the company’s sales process as the company can demonstrate many of the different capabilities that make up its Autonomous Pharmacy concept. The company has a very high conversion rate when potential customers visit. In addition to benefiting from add on sales to existing customers, the company continues to gain market share from its primary competitor (about 200 bps of market share annually). We believe that Omnicell’s broad range of differentiated products should allow for continued market share growth.”
