Volcano Corp. (NSDQ:VOLC) blew away analysts’ expectations for the 4th quarter and 2011, but lost some love on Wall Street over its low guidance for 2012.
The San Diego-based company reported a 14% bump in sales to $92.7 million, compared to $81.2 million for the same period in 2010, and $29.4 million in profit, compared to a loss of $1.7 million during Q4 2010. That translates to 54 cents EPS – 14 cents EPS on an adjusted basis, nearly triple analysts’ expectations of 5 cents apiece.
