Sequans Communications reports second quarter revenue flat at $8.1 million
On Thursday, H.C. Wainwright reiterated a Buy rating and a price target of $25.00 on electroCore Inc. (NASDAQ:ECOR), following the company’s fiscal year 2024 financial results. electroCore, which focuses on medical treatment through bioelectronic medicine, reported a significant year-over-year revenue increase and outlined its strategy for the upcoming year. According to InvestingPro data, the company’s market capitalization stands at $86.53 million, with analyst price targets ranging from $20 to $29, suggesting potential upside from the current $13 trading price.
The company plans to broaden its presence within existing sales channels and expand its product offerings through strategic partnerships. At the close of 2024, electroCore’s gammaCore, a non-invasive vagus nerve stimulator, was purchased by 170 Veterans Affairs (VA) facilities, up from 147 at the end of 2023. The company’s total revenues for 2024 reached $25.2 million, marking a 57% increase from the $16.0 million reported in 2023. InvestingPro analysis reveals impressive revenue growth of 74.1% in the last twelve months, with a healthy gross profit margin of 83.3%.
The fourth quarter of 2024 saw the company ending on a strong note, with total sales amounting to $7.0 million, an 8% quarter-over-quarter increase from $6.6 million in the third quarter. Sales through the VA/Department of Defense (DoD) channel remained the primary revenue driver, with $17.8 million in 2024 revenue, an 85% year-over-year growth from $9.6 million in 2023. However, the fourth quarter showed a slight 4.5% quarter-over-quarter decrease in this channel, from $4.8 million in the third quarter to $4.6 million.
Despite potential uncertainties in the VA/DoD channel sales due to possible reductions in supply chain staff within the VA system, H.C. Wainwright anticipates that recent transactions with NeuroMetrix (NASDAQ:NURO), Inc., and Spark Biomedical will help offset any negative impact. The firm conservatively projects electroCore’s total revenues for 2025 to be approximately $30 million and maintains its 12-month price target of $25 per diluted share.
