Accuray Looks Undervalued, But A Lack Of Execution Is A Longstanding Problem

Despite a growing database on the benefits of stereotactic radiosurgery (or SRS) with its CyberKnife system and significant improvements to its mainline Tomo platform, the unfortunate reality is that Accuray (NASDAQ:ARAY) has maintained its reputation as a company that comes up short of its guidance. Although management will hit its 5% gross order growth target for this year, fiscal 2017 will go down as another year where the company underperformed relative to management's initial expectations for the year. 

That's a sour way to begin an article, but the reality is that Accuray shares are down about 10% or so from the time of my last update, and the company continues to struggle to execute and to drive wider adoption of its core radiation oncology platforms. I do believe fair value is close to $6, and that there is considerable upside potential if management can leverage the advantages of its platforms into real sales, but I have been involved in this story for a long time, and it is getting harder to believe that “if” will become a “when”.
