OPKO Health (OPK) to Report Q1 Earnings: What's in Store?
Read MoreHide Full Article
OPKO Health, Inc. (OPK - Free Report) is scheduled to release first-quarter 2020 results on May 6, after the closing bell. In the last reported quarter, the company delivered a positive earnings surprise of 25%.
Q1 Estimates
Currently, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter revenues is pegged at $215.9million, suggesting growth of 2.9% from the year-ago reported number. The consensus mark for earnings stands at a loss of 9 cents per share.
Key Catalysts
OPKO Health is likely to have witnessed top-line growth in the to-be-reported quarter driven by robust performance across its segments. In fact, revenues from Products are anticipated in the range of $30-$32 million (including revenues from RAYALDEE between $9.3 million and $10.5 million) in the first quarter. Meanwhile, revenues from Services are anticipated between $168 million and $173 million.
OPKO Health might have benefitted from strong performance in RAYALDEE, the company’s leading renal product, in the to-be-reported quarter. Moreover, increase in total RAYALDEE prescriptions is expected to reflect on the company’s first-quarter performance.
In fact, the open-label Phase 2 trial for RAYALDEE in hemodialysis patients has been progressing and the initial data is anticipated in first-quarter 2020. This may get reflected in the first-quarter performance.
Further, the company’s first-quarter performance is likely to reflect the OPKO Health’s BioReference Laboratories’ sustained progress. In fact, BioReference Laboratories’ collaborations with the state of New Jersey, City of Detroit and City of Miami with respect to offering testing for COVID-19 are expected to have positively impacted the company’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter.
Additionally, per management, OPKO Health will continue to make solid investments in R&D programs throughout 2020. We expect the company to have gained from such investments in the quarter to be reported. However, higher operating losses might weigh on the company’s overall results.
