Oppenheimer Thinks Rewalk Robotics’ Stock is Going to Recover


Oppenheimer analyst Steven Lichtman assigned a Buy rating to Rewalk Robotics (NASDAQ: RWLK) yesterday and set a price target of $2. The company’s shares closed yesterday at $1.10, close to its 52-week low of $1.05.

Lichtman noted:

“Management is advancing forward with its Timwell/Ambrum partnership agreement to establish sales of RESTORE soft-suit in China. In addition to the $20M equity investments from Timwell—$5M initially, $10M upon formation of JV (expected mid- year), $5M upon establishment of manufacturing by 1Q19—RWLK will also benefit from minimum purchases of $1.25M/$4M/$8M in 2018/’19/’20. Recent developments on the ReWalk exoskeleton include a change in the process for obtaining case-by- case reimbursement for patients in the US by leveraging the ACA provisions (could limit review times and provide external independent review) as well as establishment of a new code for training of RWLK systems in Germany. We will continue to monitor progress on these initiatives.”
