Hansen Medical, Inc. (HNSN)

CAPS Rating:
****

The Company develops and manufactures a new generation of medical robotics designed for accurate positioning, manipulation and stable control of catheters and catheter-based technologies.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other players to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

This company hasn't received FDA clearance yet. I called their offices in California and they don't expect to receive clearance for at least 1 year. STXS numbers are great, and their international presence is still poor. STXS this year, HNSN next year, that's the way it'll work. Peace

With Dr. Moll running this company what makes you think it wont be as sucessful as his previous company ISRG. At $20 Ill take a gamble.

Medical equipment is probably the safest long-term outperform around.



Hansen's got a scary income statement, no doubt, but this is a company you can get some real percentage growth out of if their devices are a hit. More established players like St. Jude will outperform, but not to the same level.

Very similar to Intuitive Surgical. Obesity is a growing problem in the states as well as the rest of the world and with obesity comes heart disease. Currently very small, 294m cap, with tremendous room to expand and with little competition.
