Maxim Group Sticks to Its Buy Rating for Sientra (SIEN)


Maxim Group analyst Anthony Vendetti maintained a Buy rating on Sientra (SIEN) today and set a price target of $16. The company’s shares closed yesterday at $8.27, close to its 52-week low of $7.10.

Vendetti commented:

“Market close, SIEN reported 1Q19 revenue inline with both Maxim and consensus estimates, but missed EPS on a GAAP basis. Breast Products revenue rose 14% y/y and miraDry sales +27% y/y. We expect both product lines to ramp up significantly in 2H19. Additionally, Sientra gained approval from the FDA for its extra-high profile reconstruction implants. Management introduced revenue guidance for 2019, with total revenue of $79M-$83M, below our prior estimate of $85.7M. We are reducing our PT to $16, from $20, due to lower estimates and expected share dilution.”

According to TipRanks.com, Vendetti is a 4-star analyst with an average return of 4.4% and a 49.3% success rate. Vendetti covers the Healthcare sector, focusing on stocks such as Ellex Medical Lasers Limited, Restoration Robotics Inc, and Xtant Medical Holdings.
