Reasons Behind Good Performance Of Sirtex Medical and Emerchants

Sirtex Medical Limited (ASX: SRX)

Industry: Health Care Equipment & Services


SRX Dividend Details
  • Recent headwinds: SRX stock has been under pressure this year and declined by 33.77% during this year to date (as of March 29, 2016). This was mainly due to the lower than estimated dose sales by the group for the first half of 2016 which rose by 15.7% to 5,728 doses. The recovering Australian dollar against the US dollar also contributed to the stock decline. Then, the departure of Mike Mangano, the head of its Americas division also added to the decline.
  • Positive Outlook: The group still maintained its positive outlook for dose sales for the full year of 2016 and expects an upper end of double digit rise.
  • Recommendation: The recent correction in the stock this year placed them in oversold zone. Accordingly, the stock recovered over 4.6% on March 30, 2016. Given the group’s strong SIR-Spheres microspheres expertise coupled with its ongoing penetration, we reiterate our “BUY” recommendation on the stock at the current price of  $28.23
