According to White Diamond, Transenterix has been aggressively marketing the Senhance system in Europe since late 2015 and has delivered lackluster sales results.
“We have reached out to over 100 European surgeons who use the da Vinci surgical robot,” White Diamond said. “The surgeons' opinions on the Transenterix Senhance System were almost all negative.”
The firm argues that, even if Transenterix were to somehow make it to $100 million in sales thanks to the Senhance System, its 40 percent margins would still result in an overall net profit loss of at least $30 million.
White Diamond has a short position in the stock with a 75-cent price target.
'Easy Short Opportunity'?
White Diamond said that, even in the best-case scenario for Senhance in the U.S., Transenterix stock is still one of the most overvalued stocks in the market.
“We recommend shorting shares, and with the company's large float and relatively large market cap, we think this is an easy short opportunity,” White Diamond wrote.
White Diamond isn't the first short seller to notice a potential opportunity in Transenterix. TheStreetSweeper in October recommended shorting the stock and said it had at least 60 percent downside ahead
