What are Wall Street analysts saying about Hologic stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Hologic stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Hologic exited the fiscal 2018 on a mixed note with fourth-quarter earnings missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate and revenues beating the same. Strong international performance and improvement in Surgical and Cynosure businesses are encouraging. Backed by a portfolio of differentiated products, the company’s Breast Health business has been going strong. We are upbeat about the company making the Open Access functionality available for its Panther Fusion system. Also, the receipt of CE Mark for its Panther FusionBordetella assay buoys optimism. Hologic has outperformed its industry in the past three months. However, tough year-ago comparison along with sluggish Diagnostics sales in the reported quarter hampered Hologic’s overall performance. Also, the blood screening divestiture is likely to impede growth." (11/13/2018)
- 2. Canaccord Genuity analysts commented, "We believe the stock is up today because HOLX (1) removed uncertainty regarding its 2019 guide and (2) announced agreements to renew with LH and DGX, which we think alleviates a modest overhang on the stock. HOLX’s top line guide of ~2-3.5% growth is not enough for us to get excited about. We look for signs of faster growth and progress mitigating margin drags and reiterate our HOLD. We raise our PT from $41 to $43, as we roll forward a 16.5x multiple on our new ’20E Adj. EPS of $2.60. Alleviates lab contract overhang. HOLX has agreed to deals with large lab customers (LH & DGX), a positive outcome to a modest overhang on the stock. One deal is a multi- year" extension of its supply contract while the other provides instruments and tests. While we view these deals favorably, we believe HOLX likely made price concessions to do the deals." (11/8/2018)
- 3. Needham & Company LLC analysts commented, "HOLX is acquiring Focal Therapeutics (private) for $125M in cash. HOLX expects the acquisition to close in and be neutral to HOLX’s FY19 adjusted EPS. Focal Therapeutics’s BioZorb implant advances post- operation tumor removal area identification. We view this transaction as an affordable way to strengthen HOLX’s Breast Health business and it appears to be complementary to HOLX’s recent Faxitron acquisition. We reiterate our Buy rating." (9/27/2018)
- 4. BTIG Research analysts commented, "Raising PT to $47 from $44 After a tough F2Q, all eyes were on HOLX’s Cynosure Aesthetics business going into this F3Q. CYNO sales of $91.7M exceeded the Street’s bar of ~$88M and we think HOLX shares may enjoy a small relief rally Wednesday. We think investors will also want to see long-term growth here. The company’s core businesses remained solid, with a nice revenue beat in Breast Health and strong Blood Screening sales. We were also encouraged by what seemed like stabilization in the GYN Surgical division. Beyond these results, HOLX picked up and announced a new CFO (internal promotion) as the prior CFO moves on to Agilent. In our view, revenue guidance for F4Q set below Street estimates may have been slightly conservative, but we view this as a positive quarter overall for HOLX. We raise our PT to $47 from $44 previously, now based on 18x our 12-24 mo. adj. EPS estimate." (8/2/2018)
