Needham Believes Conmed Corp (CNMD) Still Has Room to Grow

Matson said:

“We hosted for investor meetings in NYC on 8/2 and 8/3. M&A is management’s preferred method of capital deployment. We believe that increasing investment into R&D should continue to drive organic growth. We think that the AirSeal platform drives awareness of CNMD’s broader General Surgery product portfolio and could benefit from increased international adoption of robotics. Management provided more color on the reinvestments outlined on the 2Q18 call. Management meeting take-aways give us increased confidence in our CNMD thesis and we reiterate our Buy rating.”
