This could run hard with volume

I put a bid in on the Aug. 20th 60s

Priced a little high for me. I was hoping to sell into a push to $60-61 .... the $60 options are $1.80 (expire this week).

Would be interesting to know how much shorts covered yesterday.

Given the fight back in WSB tickers, trades based on short covering may not be good ... especially in low volume summer.

Seems low floaters are all the rage right now.

I was thinking about buying some $60 call options

Anyone else trading this hoping it can test $60?

Typically institutional shorts will give it some support on these bigger stocks when they move like this.

Today : Tuesday 10 November 2015

Glaukos Corporation (NYSE: GKOS), an ophthalmic medical technology company focused on the development and commercialization of breakthrough products and procedures designed to transform the treatment of glaucoma, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2015. Key highlights of the quarter, compared to the same period in 2014, include:
• Achieved 57% growth in net sales to $19.0 million, compared to $12.1 million
• Expanded gross margin to approximately 83%, compared to 81%
• Delivered 8% reduction in loss from operations to $1.7 million, compared to $1.9 million
• Paid off $7.0 million in debt and terminated bank loan facility without prepayment penalty
• Following completion of an initial public offering on June 30, 2015, finished the third quarter with net cash and cash equivalents of $93.3 million, compared to $2.3 million at year-end 2014

“Glaukos has delivered another quarter of record performance that demonstrates the momentum building behind our first-in-class iStent technology as an elegant solution for managing intraocular pressure associated with glaucoma,” said Thomas Burns, president and CEO of Glaukos. “The iStent is the first in a series of proprietary, market-expanding glaucoma therapies we are preparing to introduce in the coming years. Our goal is to transform glaucoma treatment with a family of precision, micro-scale injectable therapies that can be used individually or in combination to address the full range of glaucoma disease states and progression.”

Third Quarter 2015 Financial Results

Glaukos net sales rose 57% in the third quarter of 2015 to $19.0 million, compared to $12.1 million in the same period in 2014. The growth was driven by increased adoption of the company’s flagship iStent® Trabecular Micro-Bypass Stent.

Gross margin for the third quarter of 2015 increased to approximately 83%, compared to approximately 81% in the same period in 2014. The gross margin expansion was due primarily to the company’s ability to leverage its fixed manufacturing overhead costs against higher sales.

Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2015 were $17.4 million, up 48% compared to $11.8 million in the same period in 2014. The increase primarily reflected higher personnel, travel and other costs associated with the ongoing expansion of the company’s global infrastructure and sales organization.

Loss from operations in the third quarter of 2015 was $1.7 million, compared to $1.9 million in the third quarter of 2014.

The company reported a net loss attributable to Glaukos shareholders of $2.1 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2015, compared to $1.5 million, or $0.64 per diluted share, in the same period one year ago. The year-over-year reduction in diluted net loss per share primarily reflects the increase in weighted average shares in the third quarter of 2015 resulting from the company’s initial public offering on June 30, 2015 in which Glaukos sold 6.9 million newly issued common shares.

As of September 30, 2015, cash and cash equivalents were $93.3 million, compared to $2.3 million at the end of 2014. The increase primarily reflects the addition of $113.6 million in net cash proceeds from the company’s initial public offering, offset by cash used to fund its operations and $15.0 million used to purchase certain assets from DOSE Medical Corporation. In addition, during the third quarter, the company used approximately $7.0 million in cash to pay off and terminate its bank loan facility.

2015 Revenue Guidance

The company expects 2015 full-year net sales to be in the range of $70.5 million to $71.5 million.
