Japan CPI slightly higher than expected in July, underlying inflation steady
Investing.com’s Fair Value model demonstrated its predictive power once again, successfully identifying PROCEPT BioRobotics Corporation (NASDAQ:PRCT) as significantly overvalued in December 2024. The healthcare technology company’s subsequent stock performance has validated this analysis, with shares declining 41% since the initial signal.
PROCEPT BioRobotics, a medical device company specializing in surgical robotics, had seen its shares surge throughout much of 2024 despite persistent negative earnings. When InvestingPro’s Fair Value models flagged the stock on December 6, 2024, it was trading at $94.84, significantly above our calculated fair value of $61.98. The company’s fundamentals at the time showed annual revenue of $199.8 million and an EBITDA of -$101.4 million.
The stock’s descent since the overvaluation signal has been steady, with shares currently trading at $58.10. This decline occurred despite improving fundamentals, with revenue growing to $224.5 million and EBITDA losses narrowing to -$91.4 million in the most recent quarter. This pattern suggests that while the business is strengthening, the previous valuation was indeed unsustainable.
Recent developments have reinforced our analysis. Multiple insider sales have been reported since December, including significant transactions by the CEO and CFO. While the company reported better-than-expected Q4 2024 revenue, the stock’s current price better reflects its fundamental value, with Jefferies maintaining coverage and a $77 price target.
