Cardiovascular Systems Receives a Hold from Needham


Needham analyst Michael Matson maintained a Hold rating on Cardiovascular Systems (NASDAQ: CSII) today. The company’s shares closed yesterday at $23.29.

Matson commented:

“CSII’s F3Q18 revenue met consensus while EPS beat consensus. Management’s F4Q18 revenue guidance bracketed consensus while EPS guidance was above consensus. The F4Q18 revenue guidance requires a substantial acceleration from F3Q18 but we note that CSII faces a significantly easier revenue growth comp in F4Q18 than in F3Q18 (9.2% vs. 17.3%). Looking into FY19, CSII should continue to benefit from the Japanese launch, new support products, building rep productivity, and a further easing of comps so we think it can see its revenue growth accelerate further. However, it remains to be seen if CSII can sustain double- digit revenue growth and considering its 3.0x 2018E EV/sales multiple, we maintain our Hold rating.”

According to TipRanks.com, Matson is a 5-star analyst with an average return of 8.6% and a 59.1% success rate. Matson covers the Healthcare sector, focusing on stocks such as Boston Scientific Corp, Zimmer Biomet Holdings, and Merit Medical Systems.
