HeartWare International (NSDQ:HTWR) today reported 2nd-quarter results that beat expectations, despite a plunge to red ink, sending its stock price up more than 7%.
The Framingham, Mass.-based implantable heart pump maker posted losses of -$27.4 million, or -$1.59 per share, on sales of $73.6 million for the 3 months ended June 30. That’s sales growth of 4.9% compared with Q2 2014, when HeartWare reported profits of $8.4 million.
