Omnicell exited the second quarter with better-than-expected revenues and earnings. The company reported strong revenues and adjusted EPS growth in the reported quarter. Growth across both the operating segments contributed to the top line. Expansion in gross margin is another upside.

The company’s strong performance in the quarter and year-to-date is reflective of the robust demand for its solutions and services.
