Our Take
Omnicell’s third-quarter 2018 performance was impressive. The company continued to see solid uptake of Omnicell XT. It also entered various deals for both the XR2 and the IVX Workflow products. A rise in bookings and product backlogs was also observed in the quarter. We are encouraged to note that the company is working on product innovation through R&D. Also, Omnicell is expected to gain from new launches, strategic partnerships and digital transformation.
However, a tough competitive landscape acts as a dampener.

Famed investor Mark Cuban says it will produce "the world's first trillionaires," but that should still leave plenty of money for regular investors who make the right trades early.
