Our Take
Haemonetics exited the first quarter of 2020 on a solid note. Per the company, benefits from complexity reduction and investments along with higher market demand and success from early launches helped the company pull off an impressive performance. Continued momentum in new business generation and geographical expansion contributed to the results. However, the company’s sluggish Blood Center business and moderating overall top-line growth raise concern.
