With the addition of Medtronic (“MDT”) to our Guidepoint Qsight data-sets, we now have 16 company models available across the MedTech space. This timely data, gathered from over 1,500 hospitals, offers clients new quantitative insights into Medtronic’s sales performance.

For MDT, Qsight projections have been consistently more accurate than Wall Street consensus across 5 of the past 6 quarters. In fact, leading up to MDT’s Q4 FY19 earnings release, Qsight’s data and projections showed potential for their U.S. revenue to come in above sell-side consensus estimates.
