Apple Watch more likely a positive for BioTelemetry, says Lake Street

After spending time with Joe Capper and Heather Getz, CEO and CFO of BioTelemetry (BEAT), Lake Street analyst Brooks O’Neil senses that Apple’s (AAPL) Watch Series 4, which includes a built-in electrocardiogram, is more likely a positive for BioTelemetry “than a buzzer sounding a flat-line for the company’s future.” BioTelemetry remains the leading cardiac monitoring company and this is likely to continue for the foreseeable future, O’Neil tells investors in a research note. He points out the company has a partnership with Apple in cardiac monitoring and with Sanofi (SNY) and Alphabet (GOOG) in diabetes. The analyst’s guesses that its partnership is one element giving BioTelemetry management comfort in evaluating the role Apple might play in the company’s future. O’Neil reaffirms a Buy rating on the shares with a $90 price target.
