Alphatec Aktie

und hier interessiert sich keiner für den Wert Komisch

ich glaube kaum,dass wir Charttechnik hier brauchen,denn der Platzhirsch in Spinefusion ist Nuvasive mit etwa dem zehnfachen an Umsatz wie Alphatech,dafür ist Nuvasive knapp 100 mal so teuer,daraus schliesse ich,dass Alphatech noch massig Aufholpotential im Kurs hat: NuVasive, Inc. (NUVA) NasdaqGS - NasdaqGS Delayed Price. Currency in USD Add to watchlist 56.95+0.49 (+0.87%)

Hallo zusammen, Der Wert ist m.E sehr interessant. Was meinen die Profis dazu? Ein Profi der Charttechnik unter uns? Wie sieht ihr die weiteren Entwicklung? Bei der Letzten News gings schon ab. Danke

I look forward to partnering with him to advance Alphatec’s growth trajectory by executing our mission to improve patient lives.” Miles brings a wealth of orthopedics and innovation expertise, with over 25 years of industry experience, and as a named inventor on close to 100 industry patents.

I look forward to driving toward improved surgical outcomes and market share expansion,” said Miles. “Alphatec has a broad and impressive product portfolio, improving surgeon engagement, and great access to hospitals; all of which position the Company exceptionally well to take market share in today’s environment. This is a high-caliber team driving an important mission, and I feel incredibly lucky to be a part of it.” Blackford joins the Alphatec Board of Directors with 17 years of experience in the medical device industry.
