Needham Believes Masimo Corp (MASI) Won’t Stop Here


In a report released today, Michael Matson from Needham initiated coverage with a Buy rating on Masimo Corp (NASDAQ: MASI) and a price target of $139. The company’s shares closed yesterday at $121.55, close to its 52-week high of $121.96.

Matson said:

“MASI has built a better pulse oximeter and the medical world is beating a path to its door. We expect the Philips partnership to accelerate Product revenue growth but we also expect the upcoming Royalty & Other revenue cliff to hurt total revenue growth and margins. Taking all of this into account along with consensus estimates, we believe that MASI can continue to deliver upside and we initiate coverage with a Buy rating.”
