K2M Group H (NASDAQ:KTWO)
K2M Group Holdings, Inc. (KTWO), a medical device company yesterday reported their fourth quarter and full year 2016 financial results. K2M reported fourth quarter earnings of a loss of $0.30 per share which fell short of analyst expectations of a loss of $0.26 per share. K2M reported fourth quarter revenues of $61.8 million.
h3 K2M Group Holdings, Inc. CEO’s Comments/h3h3 KTWO Technical Analysis/h3“We reported constant currency revenue growth of 14.9% year-over-year in the fourth quarter, driven by U.S. constant currency revenue growth of 21.5% year-over-year,” said President and Chief Executive Officer, Eric Major. “We delivered approximately 17% growth in the U.S. in calendar year 2016 and we believe this strong performance reflects the Company’s success in executing our strategic plan to introduce differentiated spine technologies and expand our global distribution network. Our U.S. growth reflects the clearest indication yet of the increasing adoption of our innovative products by the spine surgeon community. Outside the U.S., we successfully navigated challenging market disruptions with our distributors in Australia and Japan earlier in 2016, and look forward to building on our improving results during 2017 without the expectation of these headwinds. We continue to anticipate our ability to grow our U.S. revenue in the mid-teens in 2017 with improved profitability.” Globe Newswire
KTWO opened trading yesterday at $21.50 which was down from the previous day’s trading close of $21.54. Shares closed trading yesterday at $21.30 and spiked down after market to $19.60, equivalent to a 8% decrease from the closing price. Taking a look at the daily chart we can see that the last time KTWO traded below these levels we have to go all the way back to December 1st 2016, when it traded at $19.03.
Taking a closer look at the daily chart we can see that before the spike down KTWO had been in an overall upward trend dating back to October 27th, 2016 when it traded at $16.39. KTWO has a float of 21.39 million shares and traded 1.71 times the normal daily trading volume on Monday.
For trading purposes, I would like to see KTWO open trading on Tuesday below $20.15 and if it does I would be looking to take a short position at the bell. My stop loss would be $0.20 from my entry position fearing anything more than that and the stock would start to fill in the gap down.
