The London Company Small Cap Strategy stated the following regarding Enovis Corporation (NYSE:ENOV) in its Q2 2024 investor letter:
“Enovis Corporation (NYSE:ENOV) – ENOV underperformed in 2Q due to slower than expected growth in orthopedic implants, exacerbated by integration headwinds from its recent Lima Corporate acquisition. Lima should strengthen ENOV’s competitive positioning, particularly within extremities, and provide attractive cross-sell opportunities in the future. The Reconstruction portfolio continues to generate healthy growth, while demand for ENOV’s industry leading bracing products has proven resilient. We have conviction that ENOV’s attractive and diversified portfolio of orthopedic offerings will help support a long runway for continued earnings growth.”
