Cerus Corporation Reports Strong Q3 2024 Financials

Wall Street favors small caps for their high growth potential, broad sector exposure, and strong performance during economic recoveries, especially as rate cuts lower borrowing costs. Hence, it may be wise to consider buying high-potential small-cap stocks: Owens & Minor (OMI), Orion (OEC), and Cerus (CERS). Read on... Small-cap stocks benefit greatly from lower interest rates, as they typically carry higher debt levels than large-cap companies. Moreover, small-cap stocks offer diverse industry exposure beyond tech, including in medical, biotech, and chemical industries, providing growth potential across multiple sectors.
Therefore, for investors seeking high-upside opportunities, fundamentally strong small-cap stocks like Owens &amp; Minor, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/OMI/">OMI</a>), Orion S.A. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/OEC/">OEC</a>), and Cerus Corporation (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/CERS/">CERS</a>) are worth considering.
Historically, small-cap stocks have outperformed large caps during economic recoveries. As inflation stabilizes and if the economy strengthens, small-cap stocks could benefit significantly. Small-cap stocks offer broad sector exposure, which helps reduce regulatory and sector-specific risks while providing diverse investment opportunities.
With inflation currently at <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/rates-bonds/traders-stick-bets-25-bps-fed-rate-cuts-nov-dec-2024-10-31/">2.1%</a>, just above the Fed's target, rate cuts are anticipated in December. These cuts could reduce borrowing costs, stimulate consumer spending, and boost small-cap stock valuations. Alongside, the U.S. economy expanded by an annualized <a href="https://www.conference-board.org/brief/global-economy/gdp-q3-2024">2.8% in the third quarter</a>, highlighting further optimism for the small caps.
Furthermore, small-cap stocks often yield higher returns in volatile markets due to increased investor demand for growth-oriented opportunities. Considering these conducive trends, let's examine the fundamentals of the above-mentioned small-cap stocks.
Owens &amp; Minor, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/OMI/">OMI</a>)
Valued at $1.03 billion by market cap, OMI, along with its subsidiaries, operates as a healthcare solutions company worldwide. It functions through two segments: Products &amp; Healthcare Services and Patient Direct.
On September 10, 2024, OMI announced a partnership with Google Cloud to enhance its QSight clinical inventory management system. This collaboration aims to improve inventory optimization for hospitals, leveraging Google Cloud's AI capabilities for real-time insights and predictive management.
In terms of the trailing-12-month <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/e/ebit.asp">EBIT</a> margin, OMI's 3.12% is 22.5% higher than the 2.55% industry average. Its 4.29% trailing-12-month levered FCF margin is 150.4% higher than the 1.71% industry average. Likewise, the stock's 1.99x trailing-12-month asset turnover ratio is 384.8% higher than the 0.41x industry average.
OMI's revenue for the fiscal second quarter ended June 30, 2024, increased 4.2% year-over-year to $2.67 billion. Its non-GAAP operating income was $76.26 million, up 23% year-over-year. Additionally, the company's non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per common share were $28.15 million and $0.36, respectively, up 98% and 100% over the prior-year quarter.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2024, OMI's revenue is expected to grow 3.4% year-over-year to $2.68 billion. Its EPS for the quarter ending March 31, 2025, is expected to rise 38.4% year-over-year to $0.26. It surpassed the Street EPS estimates in each of the trailing four quarters.
Over the past month, OMI's stock has declined 8.2% to close the last trading session at $13.36. The average analyst price target of $20 indicates a <a href="https://www.tipranks.com/stocks/omi/forecast">49.7% upside potential</a>.
