SurModics (SRDX) Receives a Buy from Needham


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 closed yesterday at $58.24.

Matson noted:

“SRDX has embarked upon its “whole-product solutions” strategy and has a number of medical devices in development or commercialization that it intends to sell through distribution partners. The potential revenue from these products varies widely; to use a baseball analogy, we think these product opportunities range from potential “singles” (e.g. its 510(k) products) to potential “home runs” (e.g. its drug-coated balloons or DCBs). Given the multiple moving parts of the SRDX story, we thought it would be worthwhile to conduct a “sum-of-the-parts” (SOTP) analysis. Our SOTP analysis implies that SRDX’s 2020E enterprise value should be ~$1.0B, or ~ $74 per SRDX share. Given this, we raise our price target to $74 from $69 and reiterate our Buy rating. Please contact us or your Needham sales person for our SRDX SOTP spreadsheet.”
