What Made Needham Upgrade Inogen’s Stock?


Needham analyst Michael Matson upgraded Inogen (INGN) to Buy today and set a price target of $280. The company’s shares closed yesterday at $137.45, close to its 52-week low of $112.78.

Matson commented:

“We are upgrading INGN to Strong Buy from Buy given: 1) we think that INGN should have a significant new product cycle in 2019 anchored by its G5 portable oxygen concentrator (POC); 2) our belief that estimates remain very conservative and that INGN can continue to deliver meaningful upside to consensus; 3) easing comps in 2H19; and 4) INGN shares are now trading at a discount to small/mid- cap growth peers despite higher projected revenue growth.”

According to TipRanks.com, Matson is a 5-star analyst with an average return of 11.3% and a 63.4% success rate. Matson covers the Healthcare sector, focusing on stocks such as Boston Scientific Corp, Cardiovascular Systems, and Zimmer Biomet Holdings.
