- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Over the past six months, iRobit's shares have outperformed the industry. The company reported better-than-expected third-quarter 2018 results. iRobot believes stronger demand for innovative home-robotic products (like Roomba e5 and of i7/i7+ Roomba) and strategic marketing programs will continue to drive its revenues in the upcoming quarters. On the other hand, stronger revenues, reduced corporate tax rates and greater operational efficacy will likely boost up near-term profitability. Over the past 90 days, Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company’s earnings in 2018 (results not yet released) has been revised upward." (1/7/2019)
- 2. Canaccord Genuity analysts commented, "We hosted IRBT CEO in Boston. Today’s presentation highlighted the still largely underpenetrated nature of the company’s core robotic vacuum market and Roomba’s continued leadership within that space despite the competitive threats that have entered the market over the past few years. We maintain our $80 price target and remain on the sidelines with the stock until a clearer picture of IRBT’s new product road map emerges given the dependence on new product contributions in guidance."
