Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about II-VI Incorporated stock:

• 1. Benchmark Co. analysts commented, "We believe NUS will be aggressive on share repurchases this year and are setting up for a strong finish to the year and credible growth in 2018. F/X, at present, appears to be neutral to positive starting in 4Q17. More details discussed herein… VALUATION: We’ve made no changes to our estimates at this time, but expect that as the year rolls forward our revisions will be to the upside. And the 4Q17 will be a big quarter for NUS in our opinion. Our price target moves to $80 per share or 22x 2018 EPS. The shares rose 26% in 2016 and 26.6% YTD. The return to meaningful sales growth will be the driver of multiple expansion, we believe. Organic sales growth of 5.3% to 7.2% is impressive. Free cash flow yield is 6.3%. It trades at 18.6x 2017 EPS and 9.8x EV/EBITDA. Given its organic growth, its fine balance sheet and strong cash generation, NUS is cheap by all normal measures of value in our view. RISKS: The strong dollar has been the biggest risk to estimates. In 2016 top-line was trimmed 2% from the strong dollar. The company sees 3% pressure from F/X for 2017. As an MLM, NUS has regulatory risk as well, though we believe the NUS business model to be ethical and legal around the world." (6/25/2017)
