On Wednesday, KeyBanc maintained a Sector Weight rating on shares of Omnicell (NASDAQ:OMCL), a provider of medication management solutions. The firm's assessment followed a series of meetings earlier in the week with Omnicell's CEO Randall Lipps and CFO Nchacha Etta, along with other team members, during a virtual non-deal roadshow.
KeyBanc highlighted Omnicell's positive momentum, noting the company is experiencing tailwinds within the hospital end market. This optimistic outlook is supported by proprietary credit card data across hospital systems. The firm anticipates that Omnicell will continue to benefit from its ongoing XT series upgrade cycle, which is expected to provide incremental revenue opportunities in the upcoming quarters and into the next year.
The company's recent launch of the XT Amplify offering is seen as an additional driver of growth. This new offering is expected to contribute to platform revenues on its own, as well as complement the revenue generated from the XT series upgrades.
Furthermore, KeyBanc pointed out Omnicell's strategic focus on specialty pharmacy opportunities as a means to accelerate Advanced Services revenue streams. This focus is part of Omnicell's broader efforts to expand its reach and enhance its offerings in the healthcare market.
The Sector Weight rating indicates that KeyBanc views Omnicell's stock as appropriately valued given the current market conditions and the company's prospects. The firm's commentary suggests a cautious optimism about Omnicell's potential for revenue growth and market expansion in the near future.
