Talk about a hockey stick forecast. 35 in the 1st qtr, then 41, then 41, and now 67 in the 4th qtr. Going to need some massive Rev growth this qtr to hit that number and to get to 1.87 for the year. Otherwise, it's 9 straight years of missing the annual Rev number and 3 straight for CH. Are there enough people left to cut to come up with the millions needed on the bottom line to hit this EPS number? Or, will they announce their going to make it and announce massive lay off's on the Nov 2 conf. call?
IF they get rid of 3'rd shift, they might make it. Like you said, they don't have enough people to cut right now. They must be used to missing the goal by now. It shouldn't change anything if they miss it one more time, right?
Finished with 38 for the 1st, 41 for the 2nd, 42 for the 3rd. Need 66 for the 4th. to get to the promised 1.87. We'll see? Ortho sales continue to decline!
Looks like the analysts and Conmed have lowered the EPS number to the same number as last years number. That makes 9 straight years of missing the EPS number. 3 straight under Hartman. All those people let go and still can't make the forecast.
They're not trying to fix anything, just maintain the big income they pocket before leaving it for the next guy. Imagine if they actually fixed the product and made new high quality product? Doctors might look past the reputation we've had and try.... Ehhhhhh no. Our rep is ruined. We are waiting for more layoffs.
