Accuray Incorporated Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
The company exited second-quarter fiscal 2021 with total cash and cash equivalents of $107.3 million compared with $89.9 million at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2021.
2021 Guidance
Considering the continued spread of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the global economy as well as the healthcare industry causing uncertainty, management decided not to issue any financial guidance for 2021.
Our Take
Accuray exited the fiscal second quarter on a strong note. The company registered growth in Service revenues in the period. Also, solid demand for the Radixact, CyberKnife and TomoTherapy platforms steadily drives the top line.
Expansion of both margins is encouraging as well. Recently, the company got the 510(k) FDA clearance for the ClearRT Helical kVCT Imaging for the Radixact System and is gaining positive customer feedback for it. However, it saw a decline in Product revenues during the quarter. We are also concerned about the dip in gross order in the period.
