Our Take
CONMED exited the first quarter on a strong note, wherein both earnings and revenues beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The company witnessed strong performances across its Orthopedic and General Surgery units. It saw sales growth in both its domestic and overseas markets. Expansion of both gross and operating margins bodes well for the stock.
Meanwhile, the continued pandemic-led impact in the first quarter does not augur well. CONMED operates in a highly competitive environment, especially with respect to the General Surgery business, which raises further apprehension.
