LeMaitre Vascular - Waiting for an inflection
Oct 10th 2012 - Edison Investment Research today published a report on LeMaitre Vascular entitled "Waiting For An Inflection". In summary, the report says:
Investment summary: Waiting for an inflection LeMaitre is a leader in niche markets serving cardiovascular surgeons and has recovered well after a disastrous foray into non-core areas several years ago. Underlying sales (ex-stent grafts) have provided steady 8-9% revenue growth, but with the overall market for its products now growing 2-5%, it is unclear whether the growth rate is sustainable. New bolt-on acquisitions similar to the XenoSure biocompatible patch (c 60% sales growth a year) could help renew investor interest.
