Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about AtriCure stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "AtriCure, Inc. is a medical device company focused on developing, manufacturing and selling innovative surgical devices to create precise lesions, or scars, in soft tissues. Medical journals have described the adoption by leading cardiothoracic surgeons of the AtriCure, Inc. bipolar ablation system as a standard treatment alternative during open-heart surgical procedures to safely, rapidly and reliably create lesions in cardiac, or heart, tissue to block the abnormal electrical impulses that cause atrial fibrillation, a quivering of the upper chambers of the heart. " (3/5/2019)
- 2. BTIG Research analysts commented, "Neutral ATRC reported full Q4 results last week while we were hosting our annual Snowbird conference. Since the company pre-announced top-line results in early January, there were few surprises accompanying the formal Q4 print. On the call itself, the company highlighted several positive drivers including 1) continued outperformance in the AtriClip platform, 2) opportunities within a new pain management vertical, and 3) building society support with the recent STS endorsement of ablation courses being a constructive step. On the flip side, there were a few disappointing updates: 1) the lack of a public data release of CONVERGE until 2020, 2) substantially higher R&D and SG&A expenses than the Street modeled for FY19 and 3) some lumpiness in the China business (there were no orders in the quarter) though we expect the new distributor arrangement will add more consistency."
