K2M Group Holdings Gets a Buy Rating from Needham


In a report released today, Michael Matson from Needham reiterated a Buy rating on K2M Group Holdings (NASDAQ: KTWO), with a price target of $23. The company’s shares closed yesterday at $18.81.

Matson wrote:

“KTWO’s 1Q18 revenue beat while its EBITDA missed consensus. Revenue growth slowed slightly to 8% CC in 1Q18 from 9% CC in 4Q17. Management raised its revenue guidance due to an OUS distribution deal. We think that KTWO is well-positioned for strong growth in 2018 given new products (including its Mojave expandable spacer, Yukon OCT system, Palo Alto corpectomy cage, and Nile proximal fixation system), its new Spanish/Portuguese distributor agreement, and its Brainlab agreement. We reiterate our Buy rating given this and its large discount to peers (2018E EV/sales of 3.0x vs. small/mid-cap growth peers at a median of 8.2x).”

According to TipRanks.com, Matson is a 5-star analyst with an average return of 8.8% and a 60.6% success rate. Matson covers the Healthcare sector, focusing on stocks such as Boston Scientific Corp, Cardiovascular Systems, and Zimmer Biomet Holdings.
