Artivion’s Strong Q1 Performance and Growth Prospects Justify Buy Rating Despite Challenges

Michael Matson, an analyst from Needham, reiterated the Buy rating on Artivion (AORT – Research Report). The associated price target remains the same with $32.00.

Michael Matson has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors including Artivion’s strong financial performance in the first quarter of 2025, where both revenue and EBITDA surpassed expectations. The company has also increased its revenue guidance for 2025, indicating confidence in its future growth prospects. Despite a cybersecurity incident impacting Preservation Services, the company showed resilience with improved constant currency revenue growth driven by robust performance in key product areas such as On-X, stent grafts, and BioGlue.
Geographically, Artivion experienced significant growth in regions like Latin America, Asia Pacific, and EMEA, further supporting its positive outlook. Additionally, the successful progress of the AMDS launch, with numerous centers seeking approvals, suggests potential for accelerated growth throughout 2025. These factors collectively underpin Matson’s confidence in Artivion’s ability to overcome recent challenges and achieve sustained growth, justifying the Buy rating.
