Micrus Endovascular Corp (MEND - Snapshot Report)) shares are surging on the latest quarterly report. The company and analysts have raised their full-year outlook.
Revenues Surging

On Feb 4 Micrus released quarterly results that showed a 24% increase in revenue, to a record high. Sales rose to %22.8 million. Net income came in at $3.3 million, up from a loss one year ago.

Earnings per share were 20 cents, almost triple the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 7 cents. This was the fourth consecutive earnings surprise. The company went on to raise full-year guidance.

The Zacks Consensus for fiscal 2010 is up 2 cents since the report, to 51 cents. Forecasts for next year are averaging 56 cents, 4 cents higher since the report.

Compare these levels to the 70 cent loss Micrus posted last year and the growth is staggering. However, those growth rates are coming at a decent value as shares are trading with a PEG ratio of 0.8.
