Our Take
Patterson Companies ended first-quarter fiscal 2022 on a strong note, wherein both earnings and revenues beat the consensus mark. The company witnessed improved performance across its segments in the quarter under review. Prudent cost savings approach and solid sales execution worked in favor of the stock. Sustained momentum across the Dental and Animal Health businesses, and the company’s solid position in the market got reflected in the fiscal first-quarter results.
A broad spectrum of products cushions the company against economic downturns in the MedTech space. We believe that a diverse product portfolio, strong veterinary business prospects, accretive acquisitions and strategic partnerships are key catalysts.
However, contraction in gross margin remains a headwind.
