Our Take

AngioDynamics exited the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 with better-than-expected revenues and in-line earnings. The company continued gaining from its Med Tech and Med Device businesses. Its year-over-year uptick in revenues, along with solid performance by all the three GBUs, is impressive. Solid domestic and international revenues are also encouraging.

During the fiscal fourth quarter, AngioDynamics confirmed its launch of two new AlphaVac products and initiation of two crucial clinical trials — PRESERVE Study for the use of NanoKnife in prostate cancer and APEX study for the use of AlphaVac F18 in the treatment of pulmonary embolism. These developments raise optimism regarding the stock. Adjusted operating margin expansion in the fiscal fourth quarter bodes well for the company.

However, gross margin contraction during the quarter is not encouraging. AngioDynamics continues to face various macro-related headwinds, including supply chain disruptions and ongoing inflationary pressures, which raise our apprehension.
