Heska's state-of-the-art offerings include blood testing instruments and supplies, digital imaging products, software and services, data services, allergy testing and immunotherapy, and single-use offerings such as in-clinic diagnostic tests and heartworm preventive products. The Company's core focus is on the canine and feline markets where it strives to provide high value products and unparalleled support to veterinarians. " (10/18/2019)
- 2. Canaccord Genuity analysts commented, "We view this financing as overdue" as the company had been operating for some time at a cash balance hovering around $10 million. We trim our out year revenue and earnings estimates as we exercise more conservatism on Heska’s top line growth, and we expect a higher level of spending to help return the company to growth, following ~3 years of missing expectations. We are cautiously optimistic to see Heska deliver on its growth initiatives, however, our near-term expectations are tempered until we see evidence of stronger commercial execution. While we trim our estimates and price target to $75 (from $95), we are sticking with our BUY rating in hopes we see progress on new product and geographic expansion as we look out to 2020.
