What are Wall Street analysts saying about Hill-Rom stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Hill-Rom stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Hill-Rom exited the fiscal second quarter on a strong note. The company saw a solid year-over-year increase in revenues on strong international growth. The upside was driven by double-digit growth in Canada and the Middle East, along with strength in Europe and Latin America. The company is also focusing on product innovation through research and development. In this regard, Hill-Rom recently announced the upgrading of its Welch Allyn Spot Vision Screener. Also, the company’s long-range financial objectives through 2020, looks promising. However, a decline in revenues at the company's Patient Support Systems segment is quite disappointing. Also, foreign exchange and a tough competitive landscape remain headwinds. Overall, Hill-Rom has outperformed its industry in three-month' time." (5/1/2018)
- 2. Needham & Company LLC analysts commented, "Consistent with its 1/9/18 preannouncement, HRC beat consensus F1Q18 revenue and EPS. Management reiterated its FY18 revenue guidance and raised its FY18 adjusted EPS guidance due to tax reform. Organic revenue growth slowed somewhat to 2% in F1Q18 from 3% in F4Q17. Margins increased modestly Y/ Y with gross margin up 20 bps and operating margin up 10 bps and tax reform added $0.06 to EPS. One surprise was that CEO John Greisch announced his intention to retire in F3Q18; the board has initiated a CEO search. We expect new products including the Centrella bed to drive accelerating revenue growth while cost reductions and portfolio management drive margin expansion. HRC shares remain at a discount to peers (2018E P/E of 18.5x vs. small/mid-cap value peers at 24.3x) and we reiterate our Buy rating." (1/26/2018)
