Mindray Medical Sees Continued International Growth

On Mar 11, we have updated our research report on Mindray Medical International Limited (MR). MR continued to see strong international sales, while the domestic market is expected to show gradual improvement in the near future.

MR delivered positive earnings surprise in each of the last four quarters, with an average beat of 18.5%. The company posted an 18.4% rise in adjusted earnings per share to 58 cents for the fourth quarter of 2013 and topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 8 cents per share.
