What are Wall Street analysts saying about LivaNova stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about LivaNova stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "LivaNova PLC is a medical technology company which focuses on providing treatment for cardiovascular diseases and neuromodulation. The Company's operating units consists of Cardiac Rhythm Management, Cardiac Surgery and Neuromodulation. LivaNova PLC, formerly known as Cyberonics, Inc., is based in London, United Kingdom. " (3/27/2018)
- 2. Canaccord Genuity analysts commented, "We remain HOLD-rated on shares of LIVN in the wake of their announcement that the company would purchase the remaining part of ImThera – an early-stage company focused on neuromodulation to treat obstructive sleep apnea – that it does not already own. While the technology fits synergistically within LIVN’s strong neuromodulation franchise to some degree, the call point will be different than its current offering (ENTs vs. neurosurgeons). The firm thinks it can leverage its growing OUS neuromodulation sales presence to drive some near-term ImThera revenue (expectations not disclosed) in Europe; however, we expect contributions will be minimal for the next few years at least, primarily on the basis of current reimbursement coverage, or lack thereof, and need for long-term data to catalyze ENT surgeons to adopt the therapy, according to our due diligence." (12/5/2017)
- 3. Needham & Company LLC analysts commented, "LIVN announced that it is exploring strategic options for its low growth and low margin CRM business. This shouldn’t come as a huge surprise since management had previously hinted a potential sale of the CRM business. We think a CRM sale would increase LIVN’s revenue growth; the EPS impact hinges on price, CRM margins, and use of proceeds. We think a sale would be neutral to slightly dilutive if the proceeds were used for share repurchases and/or debt repayment though we note that there would likely be near-term hit to EPS between when the sale is announced and when LIVN is able to deploy the proceeds to offset any dilution."
