Our Take
AngioDynamics exited the second quarter of fiscal 2023 with better-than-expected results. The company continued gaining from its Med Tech and Med Device businesses. Its year-over-year uptick in revenues and solid domestic and international revenues are impressive. Robust sales of Auryon looks encouraging. Positive physician feedback for AlphaVac products, including the F22 and F18 versions, raises optimism.
During the fiscal second quarter, AngioDynamics confirmed that it had initiated a limited market release of its hydrophilic coated catheters, which provide improved steerability and deliverability. This raises optimism regarding the stock. The gross margin expansion bodes well for the stock.
However, a decline in mechanical thrombectomy revenue, which include AngioVac and AlphaVac sales, and thrombus management (when including Uni-Fuse) is concerning. AngioDynamics continues to face various macro-related headwinds, including costs associated with the continued tight labor market, raw material inflation and an increase in freight costs, which raise our apprehension.
