Shares in Haemonetics (NYSE:HAE) have risen today after the medical device maker posted fiscal year 2019 second quarter earnings that topped expectations on Wall Street and lifted its guidance for the remaining 2019 fiscal year.
The Braintree, Mass.-based company posted profits of $18.7 million, or 35¢ per share, on sales of approximately $241.6 million for the three months ended September 29, seeing profits shrink 6.8% while sales grew 7.2% compared with the same period during the previous year.

“In the first half of fiscal 2019, we grew revenue 7% and adjusted net income 42%. Strong market demand and early launch success, together with benefits from complexity reduction and investments, drove our performance. Based on first half results and our confidence in our prospects for continued profitable growth, we are raising our fiscal 2019 revenue and adjusted earnings per share guidance,” CEO Chris Simon said in a press release.
