What are Wall Street analysts saying about Obalon Therapeutics stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Obalon Therapeutics stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Obalon Therapeutics, Inc. is a medical device company. It focused on developing and commercializing medical devices to treat obese and overweight. The company's product consists of Obalon balloon system, the first swallowable, gas-filled intragastric balloon designed to provide progressive and sustained weight loss in obese patients. Obalon Therapeutics, Inc. is based in San Diego, California. " (4/20/2018)
- 2. Northland Securities analysts commented, "We have reached out to management, but have not heard back yet. As we have said multiple times in our notes, we are persona non grata with the company, hence are not hopeful that we can have adequate answers to our questions, which are: What specifically is the allegation? Is it about channel stuffing? Is it about revenue recognition? As highlighted in our Dec 6, 2017 research note, we had questions about Obalon’s revenue recognition criteria, and how the accounting for deliverables was being done. A key question for us is…who knew what & when? Is there any truth to the whistleblower allegations, whatever they may be? As a reminder, Obalon’s new marketing program was implemented at start of Q4-17." (1/23/2018)
- 3. BTIG Research analysts commented, "Agreements, Navigation, and Market Growth We hosted CEO Andy Rasdal and CFO Bill Plovanic for a series of investor meetings. Overall, management remained upbeat about the long-term opportunity, underpinned by the recently announced agreement with Sono Bello (Private) and potential incremental revenue stream afforded by the yet-to-be approved navigation system. Sono Bello adds a sizable aesthetic practice to existing customer base. OBLN’s agreement with Sono Bello is important for a variety of reasons. First, the agreement provides a significant boost to the account base (40+ locations, 100+ physicians) and adds a focus from Sono Bello to offer a novel weight loss solution. Second, the agreement will help with other potential plastic surgeon customers who may look to Sono Bello for indications of patient interest. We expect Sono Bello to roll OBLN out in stages as it figures out how best to offer balloons and also benefit its own liposuction practice. Navigation, while still not FDA cleared, removes a barrier to entry. Mgmt. provided incremental details on the navigation system including expectations to be substantially less expensive than X-Ray. We believe the Navigation system may be approved in 1H18 as PMA supplements usually take approximately 6 months and it has been submitted." (11/16/2017)
