Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Hill-Rom Holdings stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Over the last three months, Hill-Rom has been underperforming the broader industry. Moreover, it exited the last reported quarter on a mixed note with earnings ahead of estimates but revenues missing the same. Also, decrease in Patient Support Systems revenues was disappointing. Moreover, a decline in reported gross margin was dampening. Also, lowered full year guidance suggests dull prospects ahead. On a positive note, Hill-Rom saw a solid year-over-year increase in revenues on strong international growth. Hill-Rom currently aims to gain traction in the untapped international market on successful execution. The company is focusing on product innovation through research and development. Also, its launches slated for the fourth quarter are pumping up investors’ confidence. With regard to this, the commercial launch of its Centrella Med-Surg platform is worth a mention." (9/18/2017)
• 2. Needham & Company LLC analysts commented, "We are initiating coverage of HRC with a Buy rating. Recent acquisitions have diversified HRC’s business and should drive stronger margin expansion and faster EPS growth. Additionally, new products should drive higher organic revenue growth. And while large (>$1B) acquisitions are probably off the table for now, we see potential for additional tuck-in deals over the next 12-18 months." (6/29/2017)
