2021 Revenue Outlook Raised

In spite of the continued uncertainties and challenges in its operating environment stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, the company has updated its financial outlook.

Our Take

Inari Medical exited the third quarter on a solid note, wherein both earnings and revenues beat the same. New product launches and sustained U.S. commercial expansion are encouraging. Apart from treating a record number of patients in the quarter under review, the company made substantial progress on all of its five growth drivers.

However, incurrence of operating loss continues to remain a concern. Contraction in gross margin is a woe.

Currently, Inari Medical carries a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell).
