Cryolife (CRY) Initiated with a Hold at Needham


Cryolife (CRY) received a Hold rating from Needham analyst Michael Matson today. The company’s shares opened today at $28.97.

Matson commented:

“CRY has undergone a transition into a higher growth company with two major acquisitions since 2015. We believe that it has a full pipeline including 13 new products and indications but we don’t expect these to begin to translate to stronger revenue growth until 2020. And 2019 appears to be a transition year from an earnings and margin perspective. Given all of this, and our belief that CRY shares are fairly valued, we initiate coverage with a Hold rating.”

According to TipRanks.com, Matson is a top 100 analyst with an average return of 13.9% and a 69.3% success rate. Matson covers the Healthcare sector, focusing on stocks such as Boston Scientific Corp, Cardiovascular Systems, and Zimmer Biomet Holdings.

Cryolife has an analyst consensus of Moderate Buy, with a price target consensus of $32.
