Apyx Medical CEO Charlie Goodwin said, “We introduced full year 2021 financial guidance which calls for revenue growth in the range of 32% to 40% year-over-year, driven by Advanced Energy growth of 45% to 55% year-over-year. Importantly, our guidance assumes that strong handpiece demand from global customers will be the largest contributor to our year-over-year growth, coupled with measured improvement in the capital equipment environment as we move through the year.”

For 2021, the company projects total revenues to land between $36.7 million and $38.7 million, versus the consensus estimate of $39.15 million. Net loss is forecasted to be in the range of $20.7 million to $18.4 million.

On March 30, Colliers Securities analyst Kyle Bauser maintained a Buy rating and a price target of $14 (41.7% upside potential).

Apyx Medical shares have exploded 175.2% over the past year, while the stock still scores a Strong Buy consensus rating, based on 4 unanimous Buys. That’s alongside an average analyst price target of $12.50, which implies 26.5% upside potential to current levels.

On top of this, Apyx Medical scores a 9 out of 10 from TipRanks’ Smart Score rating system, indicating that the stock has strong potential to outperform market expectations.
