On Friday, Stifel analysts maintained their Buy rating and $25.00 price target for Beta Bionics, Inc. (NASDAQ:BBNX), which currently trades at $10.77, near its 52-week low of $10.63. According to InvestingPro data, the stock has declined over 54% in the past six months, with technical indicators suggesting oversold conditions. The firm addressed concerns about the company’s future financial guidance, particularly for the year 2025, which some investors feared might be at risk.
According to Stifel, the concerns stem from a broader risk-off environment and confusion over fourth quarter data points, notably the success in the Pharmacy segment. Analysts at Stifel clarified that this success should be viewed as a positive indicator for future growth and profitability, rather than a cause for concern.
The firm’s analysis suggests that even with no changes to the number of pumps shipped, an increase in pharmacy prescriptions to over 35%, which is above the 20% guidance, is unlikely to push revenues below the lower end of the guidance range. On the contrary, a higher mix of pharmacy prescriptions could lead to outperformance in the number of pumps shipped. The company maintains strong operational efficiency with a gross profit margin of 55.11% and a healthy current ratio of 6.29, according to InvestingPro data.
Looking ahead, Stifel remains optimistic about Beta Bionics’ prospects beyond 2025. They note that the underlying assumption for market share gains in the company’s guidance, as well as consensus and Stifel’s own estimates, is an increase of approximately 100 basis points for 2025, compared to a more significant increase of around 650 basis points in 2024. Stifel emphasizes that every additional 100 basis point gain in market share could potentially add roughly $7 million, or an 8% increase, to revenues, all else being equal.
Stifel’s commentary and price target suggest confidence in Beta Bionics’ strategy and market positioning, despite the recent volatility in the stock’s performance and broader market uncertainty. The broader analyst consensus remains bullish, with price targets ranging from $18 to $30.
