What’s Working in Favor?
View Solid
For 2019, Masimo expects total revenues of $919 million on a reported basis and $918 million on an adjusted basis, calling for year-over-year growth of 10.6% at cc. The projected figure is above the previously communicated $912 million.
Earnings per share (EPS) are expected to be $3.25 compared with $3.19 stated earlier. On an adjusted basis, EPS is anticipated at $3.12, up from the previously-stated figure of $3.08.
Developments
Masimo has been riding on a slew of developments in recent times.
For instance, earlier this month, the company received FDA clearance for its O3 Regional Oximetry for utilization on neonatal and infant patients weighing less than 10 kgs. This clearance is likely to expand Masimo’s O3 platform. (Read More: Masimo's O3 Oximetry Gets FDA Nod, Boosts Patient Monitoring)
In the pediatric care space too, Masimo has fortified its foothold. Notably, the company’s technologies like SET, Root with Radical-7, NomoLine Capnography and Patient SafetyNet have been recently deployed by NuVision Management Healthcare Consulting Company at its facilities in New Jersey and Florida.
Additionally, a variety of other rainbow SET parameters and NomoLine capnography, available as a MOC-9 expansion module for Root, will be used to support management of children on ventilators.
Last month, Masimo received a 510(k) clearance from the FDA for Radius PPG. This FDA nod will prove beneficial for the company as Radius PPG utilizes the power of the clinically-proven Masimo SET technology that will deliver accurate measurement while the patients are on the move. This in itself is expected to be a significant breakthrough in patient monitoring.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter earnings per share is pegged at 73 cents. The same for revenues stands at $223 million, indicating a year-over-year rise of 5.4%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for full-year earnings is pegged at $3.12, suggesting 3% growth from 2018. The same for revenues stands at $919.4 billion, indicating a 7.1% rise.
DENTSPLY’s long-term earnings growth rate is expected to be 11.5%.
Penumbra’s long-term earnings growth rate is projected at 21.5%.
CONMED’s long-term earnings growth rate is estimated at 13.3%.

It could become the mother of all technological revolutions. Apple sold a mere 1 billion iPhones in 10 years but a new breakthrough is expected to generate more than 27 billion devices in just 3 years, creating a $1.7 trillion market.
Zacks has just released a Special Report that spotlights this fast-emerging phenomenon and 6 tickers for taking advantage of it. If you don't buy now, you may kick yourself in 2020.
