Management Commentary
OpSens president and CEO Louis Laflamme said, “I am pleased with the strong progress made on both the operating and development sides of our business, as we report record annual revenues of C$34.5 million in fiscal 2021, while advancing our TAVR pipeline product with the completion of our in-man study.
“The many exciting developments of the past few months are setting OpSens up for continued growth, as we remain on track to commercialize our innovative product for TAVR in 2022. The closing of the C$28.75 million financing in February will contribute to the enhancement of the commercialization and marketing strategy for TAVR and coronary artery disease products.”
Laflamme added that OpSens has made great strides in the U.S. market, signing two three-year contracts with major U.S. Group Purchasing Organizations (GPOs).
Wall Street’s Take
Two months ago, RBC Capital analyst Douglas Miehm maintained a Buy rating on OPS with a C$3.50 price target. This implies 7.7% upside potential.
Overall, consensus among Wall Street analysts is that OPS is a Strong Buy based on three Buys. The average OpSens price target of C$4.75 implies 46.2% upside potential to current levels.
