Cutera, Inc. CEO’s  Comments

James Reinstein, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cutera, stated, “We are pleased with the record level of second quarter revenue.  This was coupled with significant improvement in several operating metrics, illustrating the organization’s ability to leverage the strong revenue. Our revenue growth of 32% was driven by multiple platforms within our product portfolio, with the launch of the truSculpt 3D product in North America being a significant driver of the growth and margin improvement this quarter. The truSculpt 3D also provides the Company with a new source of recurring revenue.

“Our Board’s approval to further expand our stock repurchase program reflects its confidence in our ability to build long-term value for shareholders.  I believe that our financial performance in the second quarter of 2017, and our overall trajectory, demonstrates that Cutera is positioned to meet our short, medium and long term goals,” concluded Mr. Reinstein.  Globe Newswire

 

CUTR Technical Analysis

CUTR opened trading yesterday at $25.45 which was down from the previous day’s trading close of $25.65. CUTR closed trading yesterday at $26.65 and spiked up after market to $31.25, equivalent to a 18% increase from the closing price. Taking a look at the daily chart we can see the last time CUTR traded above these levels we have to go back to the month of March 2007 when it traded at $36.19.

Taking a closer look at the daily chart we can see that before the spike up CUTR had already been in an overall upward trend dating back to May 18th when it traded at $20.00. CUTR has a float of 12.35 million shares and traded 1.44 times the normal daily trading volume on Monday.

For day trading purposes, I would like to see CUTR open trading on Tuesday above $29.75 and if it does I would be looking to take a long position at the bell. My stop loss would be $0.30 from my entry position fearing anything more than that and the stock would start to fill in the gap up.
