Medical Product Stock Q1 Earnings on May 10: MRVI, TGTX & More

The latest Earnings Preview clearly depicts encouraging quarterly performance for the Medical sector so far this reporting cycle. Going by the sector’s scorecard, 75.9% of the companies in the Medical sector, constituting nearly 86.6% of the sector’s market capitalization, reported earnings till May 4. A total of 78% beat earnings estimates and 68.3% beat on revenues. Earnings increased 22% year over year on 10.3% higher revenues.

This scorecard reflects a comparatively stable market condition within the United States, thanks to elaborate vaccine rollouts even when the COVID-affected international market is still suffering from lower cash flows and difficult economic condition.

Overall, first-quarter earnings for the Medical sector are expected to rise 23.6% on 10.6% sales increase.

The Medical Products companies’ (within the broader Medical sector) collective business growth has improved from the last reported quarter with month-wise strong rebound in base sales volumes. This can be attributed to gradual lifting of restrictions and people getting back to pre-pandemic normalcy. Besides, testing, vaccine and therapeutic makers have been riding on huge market adoption of their COVID-related healthcare support products and services.

More specifically, the first-quarter results of the majority of medical product stocks have shown accelerated base business growth, after being in the doldrums in the earlier pandemic-affected quarters.

On the flip side, although vaccine and therapeutic makers are still riding on huge market adoption of their COVID-related healthcare support products and services, diagnostic testing stocks have registered slowdown in demand for COVID-19 testing (in line with industry trends).

The Zacks Medical Product sector currently carries a Zacks Sector Rank in the bottom 23% (196 of 254 industries).

Let’s take a look at five MedTech players scheduled to announce results on May 10.

Maravai LifeSciences Holdings, Inc. MRVI: The company provides reagents and services focused on high-growth markets in cell and gene therapies, vaccines, and biologic drug manufacturing.As a supplier of solutions to other life sciences companies, the company has been in a position to benefit from multiple tailwinds that have been influencing the sector, ranging from early discovery through clinical trials to the commercialization of healthcare products. This should get reflected in its Q1 results.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the first quarter is pegged at earnings per share of 19 cents. Revenues are expected to be $148 million.
