Amedica Corporation

In a research report released this morning, Needham analyst Michael Matson reiterated a Buy rating on shares of Amedica Corporation, with a $1.00 price target, after the company reported third-quarter earnings and gave a corporate update.

Matson noted, “AMDA’s 3Q15 revenue missed consensus. Revenue declined 19% Y/Y but was up 1% sequentially with silicon nitride (SiN) implant sales declining 10%. AMDA lowered its guidance for 2015 revenue to $19.0-19.5M from $19.0-20.0M (vs. consensus of $19.3M). AMDA has now submitted two-year data from the CASCADE trial to support FDA clearance of the Valeo C+CsC spacer. We see potential for additional private label and OEM agreements and FDA clearance for Valeo C+CsC to serve as catalysts in the near term and we maintain our Buy rating.”
