What are Wall Street analysts saying about Edwards Lifesciences stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Edwards Lifesciences stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Edwards Lifesciences has reported better-than-expected second-quarter 2019 results. The company has been seeing strong TAVR sales globally. In the second quarter, it registered strong sales within Critical Care division, boosted by a surge in HemoSphere sales. With the full-market launch, the HemoSphere all-in-one monitoring platform has started to act as a major growth driver in 2019. The company is also upbeat about getting strong synergy benefit from the CASMED acquisition. Also, management looks forward to the CMS’ final update on national coverage determination related to TAVR programs. Overall, in the past three months, Edwards outperformed its industry. Meanwhile, persistent supply constraints dented Cardioband system sales. This apart, tough competition in the cardiac devices market and reimbursement issue pose concerns." (7/25/2019)
- 2. BTIG Research analysts commented, "As we cautioned in our Q1 preview, TAVR results missed Street estimates. While we have no doubt that the underlying market remains strong, results have been light for 4+ quarters now, making us question if the market growth is a tad less than expected or if share is slightly shifting. Even so, management maintained an upbeat tone and there was no change to TAVR guidance but with Boston Scientific’s (BSX, Lotus approved in the U.S. tonight, we have to think that combined with weak Q1 results, shares may see pressure. On longer-term drivers, mitral sales were $4M in Q1 and although early feedback on PASCAL has fostered management’s own confidence in its outlook, we feel hitting $40M in revenue this year is a lofty goal. On the positive side, we would point to management’s bullishness on the revenue ramp in 2H and the solid expense control driving the EPS beat." (4/24/2019)
