What are Wall Street analysts saying about Wright Medical Group stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Wright Medical Group stock:
- 1. Needham & Company LLC analysts commented, "WMGI’s 4Q18 revenue was consistent with its preannouncement while EBITDA and EPS beat consensus. For 2019, management provided revenue, EBITDA, and EPS guidance that all bracketed consensus. Organic revenue growth slowed to 10.1% (adjusted for selling days) from 14.4% in 3Q18 as strong US Lower Extremities growth was offset by slower US Upper Extremities growth (faced its toughest comp of the year). Given the improving Lower Extremities growth, Augment Injectable launch, and Cartiva acquisition, we have increased confidence that WMGI can exceed consensus in 2019 despite some likely moderation in its US Upper Extremities growth and we reiterate our Buy rating." (2/27/2019)
- 2. Cantor Fitzgerald analysts commented, "We reiterate our Overweight rating and a 12-month price target of $35 on shares of WMGI. We think WMGI is positioned to outperform expectations in 2018 with multiple drivers across each of its three primary segments (lower extremities, upper extremities, and biologics) to accelerate growth. We see WMGI’s valuation as attractive, as we expect innovative products to help WMGI to capitalize on the evolving market trends. Valuation Summary We base our $35 price target on a ~5.5x EV/Sales multiple on our 2019 sales estimate." (12/10/2018)
