Glaukos Corp

Glaukos Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GKOS#NYSE">GKOS</a>) reported on Monday third-quarter sales of $96.7 million, up 24% year-over-year, beating the consensus of $91.49 million.
The eye-focused company reported an adjusted EPS loss of $(0.28), down from a loss of $(0.50), beating the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/b41727155/glaukos-announces-third-quarter-2024-financial-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus of $(0.48)</a>.
The gross margin for the third quarter of 2024 was approximately 77%, compared to approximately 76% in the same period in 2023.
Non-GAAP gross margin for the third quarter of 2024 was approximately 82%, compared to approximately 83% in the same period in 2023.
Glaucoma products recorded net sales of $76.0 million, up 30% year-over-year. Corneal Health net sales reached $20.6 million, increased 5% year-over-year.
"Our record third-quarter results reflect successful global execution of our key strategic plans and continued strong momentum in our business," said Thomas Burns, chairman and CEO.
Guidance: Glaukos expects 2024 net sales of $377 million to $379 million, compared to a consensus of $373.758 million and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/07/b40080668/glaukos-announces-second-quarter-2024-financial-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">prior guidance of</a> $370 million-$376 million.
William Blair wrote, &#8220;We believe part of the stock move down following results — indicated down 9% in the after-hours market despite another strong quarter, though the best performance to date in our coverage up 65% — was a result of the increase of only $3 million on the high end.&#8221;
The analyst highlighted the company anticipates peak headwinds from the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program (MDRP) in the fourth quarter, along with increasing competition in its international glaucoma segment, aligning with prior management guidance.
Additionally, William Blair projects that these competitive pressures could ease with upcoming key product approvals, set to expand the company&#8217;s international pipeline in the coming quarters.
GKOS Price Action: Glaukos Corp. stock is down 1.16% at $129.83 at publication Tuesday.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Glaukos has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Glaukos's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Glaukos's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.15%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

A Closer Look at 7 Analyst Recommendations For Glaukos

Truist Securities analyst Richard Newitter maintains Glaukos (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GKOS#NYSE">GKOS</a>) with a Buy and raises the price target from $145 to $152.

Truist Securities Maintains Buy on Glaukos, Raises Price Target to $152

Glaukos Corporation (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gkos#NYSE">GKOS</a>) is focused on the development and commercialization of novel surgical devices and sustained pharmaceutical therapies designed to treat glaucoma. The strength in the iStent product line and solid execution across its global glaucoma and Corneal Health franchises augur well.
The sustained recovery trends across segments and solid business prospects in spite of the pandemic-induced uncertainties raise optimism. Recent strategic alliances instill confidence in the stock.
The company is also engaged in boosting its portfolio through the development of new products. It currently has seven clinical-stage trials and another three preclinical development programs underway. A number of these pipeline programs are in active pivotal clinical trials, including iLution Travoprost, iDose ROCK and iDose TREX.
The company&#39;s shares have risen 58.2% year to date compared with the industry&#39;s 8.4% growth. The rally was primarily driven by top-line growth in the past few quarters. The S&amp;P 500 Index was up 14.4% in the same time frame.
However, stiff competition in the medical device industry and vendor uncertainty are other headwinds. Meanwhile, a stringent regulatory approval process for the iDose platform and products is a woe.

<h2>GKOS&#39; Products Driving Strong Business Performance</h2>
During the second quarter, GKOS&#39; glaucoma franchise witnessed growth in revenues, driven by its iStent portfolio, coupled with growing contributions from iDose TR. The company commenced the initial phases of the controlled launch plan for iDose TR during the reported quarter.
Per the second-quarter 2024 earnings call, iStent continued to demonstrate robust demand with positive surgeon feedback. This primarily highlights its three-stent solution favorable safety profile and streamlined injector system. The company&#39;s continued advancement in key market access initiatives for iStent infinite looks promising.
Continued strong demand across international glaucoma and Corneal Health franchises should be the key top-line drivers in 2024. Moreover, the commercial launch of iStent Infinite in 2023 is boosting the U.S. glaucoma franchise, which should drive growth in the upcoming few quarters.
The unique permanent J-code for iDose TR became effective from July 1. This is likely to increase patient access, driving sales growth in the upcoming quarters. The franchise also benefited from rapid international expansion.
<h2>Clinical Progress Drives GKOS&#39; Prospects</h2>
Clinical trials are the primary means to evaluate the efficacy and safety of new medical technologies.
Glaukos is currently developing several pipeline products, namely iDose TREX, iDose ROCK and iLution Travoprost. These next-generation extended-release candidates are in different stages of clinical development. Successful development, followed by a potential launch of these products, should boost Glaukos&#39; glaucoma portfolio.
The iDose TR candidate received the FDA approval in December 2023. The candidate, a targeted injectable implant, demonstrated tolerability and a favorable safety profile through 12 months in a late-stage clinical study.
Glaukos is also evaluating iLink system using Epioxa therapy for the treatment of keratoconus without the removal of the epithelium in a phase III study. The company has already completed one phase III study in 2021 on iLink. A potential new drug application is expected to be filed by the end of 2024.
The company commenced three new clinical trials during the fourth quarter of 2023 &mdash; a PMA clinical trial for iStent infinite in mild-to-moderate glaucoma patients; a Phase 2a study for iLution Travoprost; and a first-in-human clinical development program for GLK-401, an intravitreal multi-kinaseinhibitor retinal program for wet AMD patients. The company plans to start a phase 3 study for iDose TREX later in 2024 and complete enrollment in Phase 2 trials for its iLink third-generation therapy.
<h2>International Market Holds Potential for GKOS</h2>
Apart from the U.S. market, Glaukos is also focusing on expanding on a global scale. The company has been developing a sales base and increasing its marketing and market access efforts. It currently sells its products primarily through direct sales subsidiaries in 17 countries and independent distributors in certain nations.
GKOS&#39; continued efforts to scale its international infrastructure and execute the plans to position MIGS as a standard of care in each region and every major market in the world will likely boost glaucoma revenues going forward. The company&#39;s efforts have been positively impacting its international growth.
In the fourth quarter of 2023, the company&#39;s Glaucoma sales were up more than 25%. Corneal Health sales improved 19% in international markets. Continued broad-based growing demand in many key international markets for combined cataract and glaucoma procedures is likely to continue in the upcoming few quarters.
<h2>Factors Hurting the Stock</h2>
Glaukos&#39; competitors include medical companies, academic and research institutions, and others that develop new drugs, therapies, medical devices or surgical procedures to treat glaucoma. Thus, intense competition continues to weigh on the company&#39;s overall performance.
GKOS currently relies on a limited number of third-party suppliers, in some cases sole suppliers, to supply components for the iStent, the iStent inject models and other pipeline products. If any one or more of these suppliers cease to provide the company with sufficient quantities of components or drugs in a timely manner or on acceptable terms, it would have to seek alternate sources of supply.
Additionally, some of the vendors continue to experience challenges pertaining to supply of raw materials and labor shortages. As a result of these supply chain challenges and current inflationary pressures, Glaukos has experienced higher costs for certain components and raw materials. These setbacks are likely to remain for the rest of 2024, albeit at a slower pace.&nbsp;

Glaukos Stock: A Deep Dive Into Analyst Perspectives (12 Ratings)

Glaukos Corporation&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gkos#NYSE">GKOS</a>) reported second-quarter 2024 adjusted loss of 52 cents per share, in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate.

<h3>Margin Trend</h3>

Selling, general and administrative expenses rose 25% to $66.2 million. Research and development expenses totaled $34.4 million, up 4% year over year. Total operating expenses were $104.4 million, up 17.6% from that recorded in the prior-year period.
The operating loss amounted to $30 million compared with $32.9 million in the year-ago period. The adjusted operating loss was $23.7 million, wider than the year-ago quarter&#39;s reported loss of $22.8 million.

Glaukos Corporation price-consensus-eps-surprise-chart | Glaukos Corporation Quote
</div>
<h3>Our Take</h3>
Glaukos&#39; second-quarter 2024 earnings met the Zacks Consensus Estimate, while revenues beat the same. Management remains excited regarding the company&#39;s continued top-line growth in the reported quarter.
During the second quarter, GKOS&#39; glaucoma franchise witnessed growth in revenues, driven by its iStent portfolio, coupled with growing contributions from iDose TR. The company commenced the initial phases of the controlled launch plan for iDose TR during the reported quarter. The unique permanent J-code for iDose TR became effective from Jul 1. This is likely to increase patient access, driving sales growth in the upcoming quarters. The franchise also benefited from rapid international expansion.
GKOS continues to invest in its product pipeline. It targets NDA submission for its corneal cross-linking therapy, Epioxa, by the end of 2024, which is currently progressing toward the second Phase 3 pivotal trial completion. The company remains on track to start a pivotal study on its next-generation iDose therapy, iDose TREX, by the end of 2024.
However, GKOS&#39; operating loss in the reported quarter amid rising costs and expenses raised our apprehension. Its operation in a stiff, competitive market is also worrisome.

Cencora currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
