I restarted a position in Thoratec (THOR) on what appeared to be a potential technical breakout not too long ago. However, the action the past 2 days has been troubling. Yesterday the stock reversed down hard on a bit of a jump in volume, and this morning in a market on overdrive, it is down another few %. Searching around all I see is a remark by the CEO talking about 'lumpiness' in the quarter which could be translated to 'miss'. Maybe. Either way I don't want to take a chance and will close out with a 5% loss.
In the interim, THOR stressed the lumpy nature of the market, noting implant volume can be impacted by a variety of external factors, including seasonality. As such, quarterly growth is "not linear" and quarter-to-quarter (and even month-to-month) variance will remain high.
