Pulmonx Corporation (NASDAQ:LUNG ) Q2 2024 Earnings Conference Call July 31, 2024 4:30 PM ET Company Participants Elizabeth Sparicio - Investor Relations Steve Williamson - President & Chief Executive Officer Mehul Joshi - Chief Financial Officer Conference Call Participants Jason Bednar - Piper Sandler John Young - Canaccord Frank Takkinen - Lake Street Capital Markets Operator Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for standing by. Welcome to the Pulmonx Second Quarter 2024 Earnings Conference Call.
Pulmonx Corporation (LUNG) came out with a quarterly loss of $0.39 per share versus the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of $0.41. This compares to loss of $0.43 per share a year ago.
New CEO suggests status quo with respect to corporate strategy. Upcoming Q2 earnings have low expectations, which could provide a short-term positive catalyst. However, longer-term, the main issue with Pulmonx remains the mismatch between revenues and expenses.
The consensus price target hints at an 80.3% upside potential for Pulmonx (LUNG). While empirical research shows that this sought-after metric is hardly effective, an upward trend in earnings estimate revisions could mean that the stock will witness an upside in the near term.
