Positive factors for Transenterix shares
The factors in favour of a rise in the Transenterix share price:

To help you understand how Transenterix is likely to accelerate its growth and face future threats and challenges, we now propose to discover its major advantages and disadvantages.

As far as the advantages and therefore the strengths of this company are concerned, the following elements are particularly noteworthy:

  • First of all, the Transenterix Group has a large number of sales outlets and distributors that enable it to make products available on a large scale and in a timely manner.
  • Similarly, the low cost structure allows it to produce at a low price and thus to remain competitive with the competition. More generally, the group's financial situation is solid, with profits in recent years and reserves accumulated in previous years that allow it to finance future expenses.
  • Transenterix's return on capital expenditure is also interesting as the group has generated positive returns on the capital expenditure it has incurred on various past projects.
  • We also appreciate the internationalization strategy implemented by the group, which has succeeded in penetrating new markets thanks to innovative teams but also thanks to past initiatives that have been very successful.
  • Diversification is also good in terms of the products offered by the group. Transenterix has a broad portfolio of products in various categories and thus offers a wide range of unique products that are not offered by its competitors. The Transenterix group also owns a number of intellectual property rights, including trademarks and patents. These patents allow the group to benefit from the exclusivity of its products and competitors cannot copy them.
  • The brand image is also a strong advantage for Transenterix and has been present in the market for many years which enhances its reputation. The quality of the group's products has also been maintained over time and allows them to be highly appreciated by customers with an excellent price-quality ratio.
  • Another strength of the group is its geographic location with respect to production, which gives it a cost advantage in serving its customers over its competitors.
  • Finally, it is also known that Transenterix has established important strategic partnerships with its suppliers, dealers, retailers or other stakeholders, which allows it to exploit them if necessary in the future.
Negative factors for Transenterix shares
The factors in favour of a drop in the Transenterix share price:

Of course, the Transenterix group also has weaknesses that you should be aware of before taking a position on this stock. Here is a summary:

  • First of all, research and development are not one of the group's strong points, and it spends much less in this area than some of its competitors, who are major players in this industry and who thus retain a significant advantage thanks to their innovations.
  • Another weakness of the company is the up-to-date sales inventory. The time required to purchase and sell products is higher than the average for this industry, which leads to an increase in inventory and generates additional costs for the group.
  • It should also be noted that a significant portion of the property owned by Transenterix is leased and not purchased. This results in high rental costs and thus increases production costs. Still on the subject of costs, it should be noted that the group's lack of financial planning with regard to its cash flow has sometimes led it to run out of cash, which has forced it to take out loans.
  • As far as the group's products are concerned, some have a large market share but others a small share. This leads to a high dependence of the group's business on a few products and makes it more vulnerable to external threats.
  • Human resources management also seems to be a weak point at Transenterix, with a heavy workload and high psychological tension causing a high turnover of the workforce. As a result, many of the group's qualified employees have left the company in recent years, leading to a shortage of talent in the years to come.
  • It should also be noted here that the group's decision-making is highly centralized and decisions must be approved by certain officials, which reduces the efficiency of operations by making them take longer to implement and thus also reduces innovation.
  • Finally, it should be remembered that the Transenterix Group operates in a highly regulated industry and that the tightening of certain rules may also have an impact on its activities and profitability.
