Dougherty & Co maintains a 'Buy' on MAKO Surgical (NASDAQ: MAKO) price target of $18.00 (from $35.00).
Analyst, Junaid Husain, said, "...While we're hopeful for a turnaround on the capital side, we recognize that any sales force realignment is not a quick fix. Nevertheless, we do see some things working in MAKO’s favor including solid procedure traction in the existing installed base and encouraging signs that hip procedures are making an impact—new hip product introductions in 3Q:12 could be an important driver of procedure growth and possibly box placements. While we continue to be believers in the RIO and the MAKOplasty solution for knee and hip arthoplasty, we need to see consistent execution. We’re maintaining our rating for now, but recognize that—after two tough quarters in a row—market sentiment views MAKO Surgical as a show-me story in CY12."
FY12 loss lowered from (0.66) to (0.87) and FY13 from (0.24) to (0.55).
Separately, Husain, did mention three wild card opportunities for MAKO including: 1) New products over immediate horizon; 2) multi-system sales; and 3) Does MAKO get acquired - opportunistic companies may be looking.
