TherapeuticsMD Inc.: Up 100% Since Reporting Strong Q2 Results, Raises Guidance

TherapeuticsMD Inc Surprises Wall Street With Solid Q2 Results

TherapeuticsMD Inc (NASDAQ:TXMD) had been trending steadily lower since reporting less-than-enthralling first-quarter financial results in May.

But patient investors were rewarded in August when the company surprised Wall Street by reporting strong second-quarter results and raising its full-year guidance. Since then, the company’s share price has doubled.

Trading at $3.74 at the time of this writing, TXMD stock remains bullish and continues to build on earlier gains. Analysts have changed their tune on TherapeuticsMD stock, with a 12-month price forecast of $20.00 per share. This represents about a 439% increase from the current price.

TherapeuticsMD stock followed the broader market downward in the fourth quarter of 2018. Then the stock rebounded in the early months of 2019, fueled by the “January Effect” on steroids.

That came to an end after the company reported disappointing first-quarter results on May 6. Over the next three months, its share price tumbled, hitting a six-year low of $1.82 on August 6, the same day it reported strong second-quarter results.

Since then, TXMD stock has risen by about 100% and continues to have excellent momentum.

Analyst Take

TherapeuticsMD stock had a tough year until the company reported solid second-quarter results that came in higher than expectations and upped its guidance for the second half of 2019.

By the end of this year, the company plans to conduct pre-launch activities for Annovera, expand market access for its menopause product portfolio, and increase its sales of Imvexxy and Bijuva.

TherapeuticsMD Inc has terrific momentum, and its developments in the next few quarters should help it build on its recent gains.
