Physician uptake is accelerating ahead of the CPT Category I reimbursement rollout in January 2026, aided by an AARP awareness campaign and confidence in NanoKnife’s strong outcomes, fast procedures, and FDA-cleared next-generation platform. With prostate reimbursement arriving in 2026 and pancreatic procedures following in 2027, management expects expanding utilization, a growing installed base, and clearer payment pathways to drive a more durable, recurring revenue stream and sustained profitable growth.Broad Product Line: AngioDynamicsis showing solid momentum across its Med Tech platforms, driven by strong performance in Auryon, thrombectomy, and its oncology portfolio. In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, Auryon posted 20.1% revenue growth, marking its 17th consecutive quarter of double-digit expansion—supported by rising adoption in hospitals and OBLs, with added contribution from the recent CE Mark.Thrombectomy was another key outperformer, with Mechanical Thrombectomy revenue surging 41.2%, led by 37.1% growth in AngioVac and 52.3% growth in AlphaVac, while the expansion of the thrombectomy sales force to 50 territories underscores management’s focus on deeper market penetration. Alongside this, the broader Med Device portfolio delivered steady 2.3% growth, providing a stable base that complements the faster-growing Med Tech segments and reinforces the company’s strengthening competitive position across oncology, vascular access and peripheral disease markets.Solid Q1 Results: AngioDynamics delivered a solid start to fiscal 2026, with first-quarter revenues rising 12.2% year over year, led by continued strength in its Med Tech segment, which grew 26% and now represents nearly half of total sales. The company also reported a narrower-than-expected adjusted loss, supported by gross margin expansion despite the impact of tariff headwinds.A Factor That May Offset ANGO’s GainsMacroeconomic Concerns: In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, AngioDynamics emphasized that tariffs remain the biggest external drag on margins, with $1.7 million in tariff costs weighing on gross margin by about 220 basis points. These expenses were fully expected and aligned with the company’s forecast of $4–$6 million in tariff impact for the full year.Despite this headwind, gross margin still improved year over year, driven by stronger pricing, operational efficiencies and a mix shift toward higher-margin Med Tech products. Management also pulled forward several cost-improvement initiatives, helping blunt the effect of tariffs and demonstrating solid operational discipline.Estimate TrendAngioDynamics has been witnessing a stable estimate revision trend for fiscal 2026. Over the past 30 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for loss has remained stable at 28 cents per share.The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter fiscal 2026 revenues is pegged at $76.1 million, implying a 4.4% rise from the year-ago reported number.
