AVANOS MEDICAL, INC. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise

Cumulative net cash used in operating activities at the end of third quarter totaled $3.6 million, compared with net cash utilized in operating activities of $71.6 million in the prior-year quarter.
Guidance
In view of the ongoing uncertainty related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the company has withdrawn its 2020 outlook (provided on Feb 25, 2020). At this point, the company is unable to fully quantify the scope or duration of the impact of the pandemic on its financial results.
Summing Up
Avanos exited the third quarter on a strong note. The company continues to gain from its core segment — Chronic Care. CORPAK and NeoMed products contributed strongly to results. The acquisitions of NeoMed and Summit contributed 5% of growth in the quarter. Further, rise in global demand for Respiratory Health owing to the pandemic positively impacted the quarterly performance.
However, contraction in gross margin remains a worry. Also, the company’s Pain Management unit performed weakly. The company also witnessed lower volume in Acute Pain and Interventional Pain owing to fall in elective procedures. Moreover, being a pure-play MedTech company, it faces stiff competition from other industry players.
Thermo Fisher reported third-quarter 2020 adjusted EPS of $5.63, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 28.8%. Revenues of $8.52 billion surpassed the consensus mark by 10%.
Align Technology reported third-quarter 2020 adjusted EPS of $2.25, which surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 281.4%. Revenues of $734.1 million outpaced the consensus mark by 38%.
AngioDynamics reported first-quarter fiscal 2021 adjusted EPS of 2 cents against the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss per share of 6 cents. Revenues of $70.2 million beat the consensus mark by 6.9%
Zacks’ Single Best Pick to Double
From thousands of stocks, 5 Zacks experts each picked their favorite to gain +100% or more in months to come. From those 5, Zacks Director of Research, Sheraz Mian hand-picks one to have the most explosive upside of all.
With users in 180 countries and soaring revenues, it’s set to thrive on remote working long after the pandemic ends. No wonder it recently offered a stunning $600 million stock buy-back plan.
The sky’s the limit for this emerging tech giant. And the earlier you get in, the greater your potential gain.
