In a report released on Tuesday morning, the brokerage issued a notable “buy” rating, indicating strong confidence in the stock’s future performance and potential for growth.
This optimistic outlook from Roth Capital is further substantiated by a robust price objective of $49.00 per share, suggesting a considerable upside from its current valuation. Such a clear target provides investors with a tangible benchmark for potential returns, reflecting the analyst’s conviction in Sanuwave Health’s underlying business model and market position.
Beyond the immediate rating and price target, Roth Capital also provided detailed earnings per share (EPS) estimates spanning multiple quarters and fiscal years. Projections include ($0.09) EPS for Q2 2025, an increase to $0.11 EPS for Q3 2025, and $0.27 EPS for Q4 2025.

Despite this positive initiation, the company has seen mixed signals from the analyst community; a separate firm reportedly downgraded Sanuwave Health from a “buy” to a “hold” rating in May. Concurrently, Sanuwave Health recently reported its quarterly earnings on May 9th, disclosing an EPS of ($0.66) for the quarter on revenues of $9.34 million, providing a snapshot of its recent financial performance.

Similarly, the company’s COO sold 1,862 shares in early June, valuing over $51,000, also representing a substantial decrease in their position.
