B.Riley FBR analyst Andrew D’silva reiterated a Buy rating on Viewray (VRAY) today and set a price target of $13.75. The company’s shares opened today at $7.63.
D’silva commented:
“ViewRay (VRAY) reported 3Q18 results AMC 11/8 and posted top line/adj. EPS of $17.7M/ ($0.21) vs. our/consensus estimates of $18.7M/($0.21) and $17.8M/($0.22), respectively. The slight top-line miss was tied to MRIdian early adopter ASP fluctuations as our expectation for three installs was met. While our adj. EPS estimate was accurate, GAAP EPS of ($0.39) was below our ($0.31). Since VRAY doesn’t provide adjusted figures, we believe we are one of the only firms providing adj. EPS projections materially different than GAAP EPS prior to the print. Thus, other firms could note VRAY’s bottom-line miss was significantly greater than our adj. EPS comparison. The primary difference between VRAY’s and our GAAP EPS were ~$5M in severance charges and ~$3M in one-time expenses that impacted GMs.”
