Canaccord Genuity Maintains Hold on Edwards Lifesciences, Raises Price Target to $75

Edwards Lifesciences&#8216; (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EW#NYSE">EW</a>) shares are trading higher Thursday after the company reported first-quarter 2025 sales of $1.41 billion.
That&#8217;s almost in line with the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus of $1.40 billion</a> and the management guidance of $1.35 billion—$1.43 billion, up 6.2% year-over-year or <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">7.9% on an adjusted basis</a>.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/04/44652075/us-tariffs-spare-drugmakers-but-threaten-diabetes-device-industry" rel="noreferrer noopener">Trump Tariffs Spare Drugmakers But Threaten Diabetes Device Industry</a>
In the first quarter, the company reported: 
<ul>
<li>An adjusted EPS of 64 cents. It beat the consensus of 60 cents and remained within the management <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/02/43672055/heart-devices-focused-edwards-lifesciences-confident-in-2025-outlook-analyst-sees-long-term-strength" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">guidance of 58-64 cents</a>.</li>
<li>Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) sales of $1.05 billion. That&#8217;s up 3.8% (+5.4% on a constant currency basis, or <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/b44964740/edwards-lifesciences-reports-first-quarter-results" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">6.5% further adjusted)</a>.</li>
<li>Transcatheter Mitral and Tricuspid Therapies (TMTT) first-quarter sales were $115 million, representing growth of 58% year-over-year or more than 60% on a constant currency basis. </li>
<li>In Surgical, first-quarter global sales of $251 million increased 1% over the prior year, or 3% on a constant currency basis.</li>
</ul>
Guidance:&nbsp;Edwards Lifesciences expects second quarter 2025 adjusted EPS of 59-65 cents versus the consensus of 62 cents and revenue of $1.45 billion-$1.53 billion compared to the consensus of $1.46 billion.
The company reaffirmed the fiscal year 2025 adjusted EPS guidance of $2.40-$2.50, compared to the consensus of $2.46, and adjusted operating margins of 27%-28%.
Edwards on Thursday raised its 2025 TMTT sales guidance to $530 to $550 million, from $500 million to $530 million, driven by more favorable foreign exchange and continued business momentum.
The company, TAVR, and Surgical sales growth guidance ranges remain unchanged.
However, on Thursday, the company increased its original total company sales dollar guidance range by $100 million to account for the recent movement in FX rates. Edwards now expects total company sales of $5.7 to $6.1 billion, up from prior guidance of $5.60 billion—$6 billion compared to the consensus of $5.81 billion.
Piper Sandler upgraded Edwards Lifesciences stock, citing a better pathway back to double-digit growth in FY2026.
Analyst Adam C. Maeder writes, &#8220;While shares have traded reasonably well YTD on a relative basis (-5% vs. -8% for S&amp;P 500), EW remains a highly debated name amongst the investment community. We concede our upgrade call could be a bit on the early side.&#8221;
Piper Sandler upgraded the stock from Neutral to Overweight with a price <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/EW/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">target raise from $73 to $80</a>.
&#8220;We also like EW&#8217;s positioning in an uncertain macro environment, namely, the company has little elective procedure exposure, no capex revenue, and a manageable anticipated tariff impact,&#8221; analyst Maeder adds.
Regarding macro/tariffs, William Blair writes that foreign exchange still hurt sales by 1.5% this quarter, but that was about 2% better than expected. The company now expects FX to have no impact on 2025 sales, changing from a previous forecast of a 2.5% drag.
As for tariffs, even though most U.S. supply comes from the company&#8217;s Irvine facility, the 5 cent hit to earnings per share comes from imports out of Singapore, Costa Rica, and, to a lesser extent, Europe.
Baird maintains Edwards Lifesciences with a Neutral, raising the price target from $72 to $75.
Price Action: EW stock is up 6.66% at $75.15 at the last check on Thursday.

Risk-on sentiment dominated Wall Street on Wednesday, as upbeat earnings reports and conciliatory messages from the Trump administration h<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">elped lift investor confidence.</a>
The administration eased market fears on two major fronts that have recently weighed heavily on sentiment. On the trade front, tensions with China appeared to thaw, with reports suggesting the White House is considering reducing tariffs on certain categories of goods.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent added fuel to the rally, stating U.S.-China tariffs are unsustainable and will likely need to be lowered to facilitate meaningful negotiations.
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump offered an abrupt shift in tone toward Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, saying he has no intention to fire him, a remark that helped calm concerns over political interference in monetary policy.
By midday in New York, the S&amp;P 500 was up by nearly 2%, though it had earlier climbed even higher. The Nasdaq 100 outperformed with a 2.5% gain, driven by strength in Magnificent Seven stocks.
Trump's pivot on Powell pushed Treasury yields lower across the curve, with the 30-year yield falling five basis points to 4.83%, after briefly topping 4.90% the previous day.
On the macro front, flash Purchasing Managers&#8217; Index surveys revealed slowing growth momentum in the U.S. economy, as the services sector decelerated sharply following the impact <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44952395/us-business-activity-growth-slows-in-april-as-services-suffer-tariff-shock-markets-rally-as-trade-war-cools">of recent tariff shocks.</a>
The U.S. dollar strengthened, while gold plunged 2.6%, heading for its worst session since November.
Oil prices dropped more than 2% following speculation that OPEC+ may announce a new output hike as early as next month.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) held steady around $93,000.

President Donald Trump announced tougher-than-anticipated tariffs on Wednesday, but there are some <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">notable exemptions</a>.
Trump excluded pharmaceuticals from the new tariffs, likely a relief for the industry under pressure following his prior comments suggesting a 25% tariff <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44631606/trumps-tariff-exemptions-include-semiconductors-pharmaceuticals-oil-and-more" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">on pharmaceutical imports</a>. 
&#8220;The United States can no longer produce enough antibiotics to treat our sick,&#8221; Trump said Wednesday. &#8220;We have a tremendous problem, we have to go to foreign countries to treat our sick. If anything ever happened from a war standpoint, we wouldn&#8217;t be able to do it.&#8221;
The biopharma industry has historically been shielded from tariffs, including during Trump's first term. Investors had feared global tariffs could disrupt the sector, given its significant manufacturing presence in Europe. The Morningstar <a target="_blank" href="https://www.morningstar.com/stocks/biopharma-industry-exempt-global-10-tariff-we-still-see-margin-tax-rate-risks" rel="noreferrer noopener">report</a> says that with the U.S. importing approximately $200 billion in pharmaceuticals in 2024, a 10% tariff could have resulted in a $20 billion cost to the industry, with some of the largest firms facing annual tariffs of up to $1 billion.

Per the Morningstar report on Thursday, a future global tariff on pharmaceuticals remains a risk despite the exemption, potentially pressuring gross margins and long-term tax rates. Companies may need to adjust their manufacturing strategies, though large-cap biopharma firms are expected to maintain strong economic positions. Tariffs could drive near-term margin pressures and lead to long-term U.S. manufacturing investments.
However, new facilities would take years to gain approval, especially with ongoing FDA staff <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44634464/despite-headwinds-biotech-sell-off-could-offer-buying-opportunity-bofa" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reductions affecting inspections</a>. If U.S. manufacturing increases, corporate tax rates could rise closer to the current 21% rate &#8211; a level Trump aims to maintain through the Republican-controlled Congress.
However, the medical device industry has not been spared, with diabetes device makers appearing to be the hardest hit.
Diabetes device manufacturers, including Dexcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DXCM#NASDAQ">DXCM</a>), Insulet Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PODD#NYSE">PODD</a>) and Tandem Diabetes Care, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TNDM#NASDAQ">TNDM</a>) are among the most affected.
Larger cardiac and orthopedic device makers, such as Boston Scientific Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BSX#NYSE">BSX</a>), Edwards Lifesciences Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EW#NYSE">EW</a>) and Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZBH#NYSE">ZBH</a>) have seen minimal share movement and are expected to shift manufacturing to mitigate tariff effects.
The report <a href="https://www.morningstar.com/stocks/medical-device-industry-swept-up-tariffs-diabetes-device-makers-bear-brunt" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">notes</a> that among diabetes device makers, Tandem Diabetes appears particularly vulnerable due to its reliance on foreign components and manufacturing, limiting its ability to shift production.
The sector could face further challenges if European competitors, such as Roche Holdings AG (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RHHBY#OTC">RHHBY</a>) and Ypsomed, gain an advantage or if Europe imposes reciprocal tariffs, intensifying competitive pressures.

Healthpeak Properties, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DOC#NYSE">DOC</a>) is a &#8220;reasonable&#8221; REIT, Cramer said.

Needham analyst Mike Matson reiterated TransMedics Group with a Hold rating on Wednesday.
&#8220;It's never been this cheap that I can recall,&#8221; Cramer said when asked about Arista Networks Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ANET#NYSE">ANET</a>). &#8220;Here's the problem, it's a data center stock.&#8221;

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure.

According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Edwards Lifesciences's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.22%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
