What’s Next For Nevro Stock After A 22% Fall In A Month?
[Updated: Nov 26, 2021] NVRO Stock Decline
The stock price of Nevro (NASDAQ: NVRO), a medical devices company, has seen a large 22% fall in a month. This can largely be attributed to the outcome of a lawsuit against Nevro for patent infringement, with the jury siding with Boston Scientific and finding Nevro to have infringed two of Boston Scientific’s patents for manufacturing of spinal cord simulation leads. The jury has asked Nevro to pay $20 million to Boston Scientific in royalties.
Furthermore, the company reported its Q3 results earlier this month, with revenue of $93 million (down 14% y-o-y), slightly above the $92 million consensus estimate, but its loss per share of $1.44 was much higher than the consensus estimate of $0.87 loss per share. The company saw its gross margin as well as operating margin contract during the quarter. Also, the company provided fourth quarter outlook with revenues to be in the range of $94 and $98 million, down between 11% and 14% compared to the prior year quarter, and this guidance was well below the consensus estimate of $114 million. Falling revenues, margin contraction, and loss of a lawsuit, did not sit well with the investors, resulting in a sharp decline in NVRO stock over the last month.

[Updated: Jun 30, 2021] Nevro Stock Decline
The stock price of Nevro (NASDAQ: NVRO), a medical devices company, has seen a 7% drop over the last five trading days, despite the company announcing positive findings from its spinal cord stimulation clinical trials for painful diabetic neuropathy. While NVRO stock did respond positively to this development last week, it has slid over 7% so far in this week due to the company’s management stating that the pace of the recovery in demand over the recent months wasn’t as strong as earlier anticipated. [1] It is likely that Nevro’s Q2 results may be below the company’s provided guidance of $105 million at the mid-point of its range.
Now that NVRO stock has fallen 7% in just five days, will it resume its downward trajectory over the coming weeks, or is a rise in the stock imminent? According to the Trefis Machine Learning Engine, which identifies trends in the company’s historical stock price data, returns for NVRO stock average nearly 5.3% in the next one-month (21 trading days) period after experiencing a 7% drop over the previous week (five trading days).

Some Fun Scenarios, FAQs & Making Sense of Nevro Stock Movements:
Question 1: Is the average return for Nevro stock higher after a drop?
Answer: Consider two situations,
Case 1: Nevro stock drops by -5% or more in a week
Case 2: Nevro stock rises by 5% or more in a week
Is the average return for Nevro stock higher over the subsequent month after Case 1 or Case 2?
NVRO stock fares better after Case 1, with an average return of 5.1% over the next month (21 trading days) under Case 1 (where the stock has just suffered a 5% loss over the previous week), versus, an average return of 3% for Case 2.
