About Glaukos (NYSE:GKOS)

Glaukos Corporation, an ophthalmic medical technology and pharmaceutical company, focuses on the development and commercialization of surgical devices and sustained pharmaceutical therapies designed to treat glaucoma. It offers iStent, a micro-bypass stent for insertion in conjunction with cataract surgery for the reduction of intraocular pressure in adult patients with mild-to-moderate open-angle glaucoma. The company's product pipeline includes iStent Inject trabecular micro-bypass stent that allows the surgeon to inject stents into various trabecular meshwork locations through a single corneal entry; iStent Supra suprachoroidal micro-bypass stent, which is designed to reduce intraocular pressure by accessing the suprachoroidal space in the eye; and iDose, a targeted injectable drug delivery implant that is designed to be pre-loaded into a small gauge needle and injected into the eye through a self-sealing corneal needle penetration. Its product pipeline also consists of iStent SA trabecular micro-bypass system, a two-stent product that is slightly wider than the iStent Inject and uses a different auto-injection inserter designed for use in a standalone procedure; and iStent Infinite trabecular micro-bypass system, which is used as a standalone procedure in patients with refractory glaucoma. Glaukos Corporation markets its products through direct sales force in the United States and internationally, as well as through distribution partners in Europe, the Asia Pacific, Latin America, and internationally. The company was founded in 1998 and is headquartered in San Clemente, California.

What are Wall Street analysts saying about Glaukos stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Glaukos stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Glaukos Corporation is an ophthalmic medical technology company. The Company develops, manufactures and markets medical devices for the treatment of glaucoma. Its product pipeline consists of iStent Inject, the iStent Supra and iDose. The company operates primarily in United States, Germany, Europe, the Asia Pacific, Canada and internationally. Glaukos Corporation is headquartered in Laguna Hills, California. " (2/13/2018)
- 2. Cantor Fitzgerald analysts commented, "Executing Well in a Slightly Adverse Environment. Glaukos reported 37% YoY revenue growth, falling a little short of the 40%+ growth since the launch of iStent slightly more than four years ago (88% of the sales were recorded in the U.S.). The company reported to be on track to have trained >3,000 surgeons by YE17. Glaukos operated in an environment, which was affected by a number of factors: 1: the slow institution of higher reimbursement (challenging during implementation, but favorable afterwards) by commercial payors (20% of total); 2: hurricane-caused delays in surgery ($1 million impact in 3Q17); 3: a negative impact by a single Medicare operator (lowering surgeon’s fees) and by continued sampling and perhaps early sales by competitor Alcon (wholly owned by NVS [Not Covered]). Long term, we believe Glaukos’ iStent has demonstrated significant long-term benefit and cost efficiency to maintain a commercial and competitive advantage. The company remained cautious about 2018, due to the expanded launch by Alcon, a second competitor potentially arriving to the market by 2H18 (Hydrus by Ivantis [private]) and the relatively modest contribution by iStent Inject (PMA to be submitted by YE17). 2018 guidance will be introduced in January at the 4Q17 earnings call."
