In a report released today, Michael Matson from Needham reiterated a Buy rating on SurModics (SRDX), with a price target of $74. The company’s shares opened today at $66.14.
Matson commented:
“SRDX beat consensus F4Q18 revenue and EPS. Management provided FY19 revenue guidance that was above consensus while adjusted EPS guidance was below consensus. Revenue growth slowed to 14.9% in in F3Q18. SRDX’s 3Q18 gross margin was down 120 bps Y/Y and its non-GAAP operating margin was down 1,130 bps Y/Y. Given FY19 revenue guidance that we think is achievable and likely conservative and continued progress with SRDX’s DCB program, we reiterate our Buy rating.”
