Edwards Lifesciences Expects 2025 Sales Of $5.6B-$6B Vs. Consensus Of $5.91B, With Adjusted EPS Of $2.40-$2.50 Versus Consensus Of $2.44, Reaffirms 2024 Constant Currency Sales Growth Guidance Of 8%-10%

Last year, Morgan Stanley upgraded its outlook for the U.S. MedTech sector to &#8220;Attractive,&#8221; believing the concerns around GLP-1s were already reflected in stock prices and that fundamentals were strong.
However, this view didn&#8217;t play out as expected, mainly due to unforeseen, company-specific issues, such as DexCom, Inc&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DXCM#NASDAQ">DXCM</a>) unexpected <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/07/39988466/dexcom-faces-short-term-challenges-but-market-growth-prospects-remain-strong-analys" rel="noreferrer noopener">Q2 channel mix challenges</a>, Edwards Lifesciences Corporation&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EW#NYSE">EW</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/07/39967649/edwards-lifesciences-stock-tumbles-highlights-slowdown-in-tavr-business" rel="noreferrer noopener">slowdown in TAVR procedures</a>, TransMedics Group, Inc&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMDX#NASDAQ">TMDX</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41608129/organ-transplant-medtech-transmedics-q3-performance-disappoints-analyst-outlines-in" rel="noreferrer noopener">seasonal impacts</a>, and iRhythm Technologies, Inc&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IRTC#NASDAQ">IRTC</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41462205/with-fda-approval-irhythm-may-be-able-to-lift-regulatory-overhang-investor-skeptici" rel="noreferrer noopener">DOJ investigation</a>.
Morgan Stanley is bullish on the MedTech industry as volumes and pipelines continue to be strong into 2025 despite a shakey 2024.
The analyst also adds that MedTech seems less exposed to potential delays from extended FDA regulatory pathways than other healthcare sectors, given its lower reliance on PMAs and clinical-trial-heavy products.
The analyst adds that while single-stock surprises are inevitable, the overall outlook for the sector heading into 2025 remains favorable.
Morgan Stanley upgraded the outlook on Intuitive Surgical Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ISRG#NASDAQ">ISRG</a>) and Stryker Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SYK#NYSE">SYK</a>), moving both to Overweight from Equal-weight, citing:
<ul>
<li>ISRG: Strong demand for the Da Vinci Dv5 system is expected to exceed market expectations for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41406234/intuitive-surgical-posts-q3-earnings-beat-these-analysts-raise-forecasts-on-dv5-upt" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">installed base growth</a>.</li>
<li>SYK: While orthopedic procedure volumes face some uncertainty, an estimated $1 billion—$2 billion backlog could drive growth in 2025. The company also benefits from ongoing M&amp;A opportunities <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/09/40819730/stryker-unveils-new-foot-ankle-solutions-with-truss-implants-details" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">and product innovations</a>.</li>
</ul>
Additional updates:
<ul>
<li>Procept BioRobotics Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PRCT#NASDAQ">PRCT</a>): Initiated at Overweight, driven by increasing demand and higher pricing for Hydros in operating room efficiency, particularly in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41583831/surgical-robotics-provider-procept-biorobotics-q3-earnings-beats-street-view-analys" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">lower-volume BPH centers</a>.</li>
<li>Tandem Diabetes Care Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TNDM#NASDAQ">TNDM</a>): Upgraded to Overweight with a $45 price target, as its valuation (below 2x sales) seems overly compressed.

<li>Globus Medical Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GMED#NYSE">GMED</a>): Upgraded to Overweight with a $100 price target as merger concerns ease and strong above-market growth persists.</li>
<li>Embecta Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EMBC#NASDAQ">EMBC</a>): Raised to Equal-weight from Underweight, factoring in the discontinuation of certain risks and potential upside from GLP-1 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41148635/tandem-diabetes-insulin-pump-demand-to-surge-despite-popular-demand-of-weight-loss-drugs-bullish-ana" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">pen needle demand</a>.</li>
</ul>
The analyst is more cautious about Glaukos Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GKOS#NYSE">GKOS</a>), downgrading it to Underweight from Equal-weight. The analyst notes that iDose is a strong product with promising long-term potential, but the current valuation limits the upside compared to other stocks. Additionally, although the pipeline includes exciting projects like Wet AMD, they remain <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41752463/glaukos-reports-30-boost-in-glaucoma-sales-improved-margins-in-q3-analyst-highlights-certain-headwi" rel="noreferrer noopener">years away from fruition</a>.
Morgan Stanley has downgraded Nevro Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVRO#NYSE">NVRO</a>) to Underweight from Equal-weight. Despite trading near record lows, the analyst expects weak demand for spinal cord stimulation devices to persist, with limited <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/24/11/41910770/why-medical-device-firm-nevro-stock-is-trading-higher-on-tuesday" rel="noreferrer noopener">opportunities for cost reductions</a>.
The analyst remains cautious about STAAR Surgical Company (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STAA#NASDAQ">STAA</a>). While the company is executing well, it faces tough conditions in the refractive surgery market, particularly in China and the U.S.

The Analyst Verdict: Edwards Lifesciences In The Eyes Of 17 Experts

RBC Capital analyst Shagun Singh maintains Edwards Lifesciences (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EW#NYSE">EW</a>) with a Outperform and raises the price target from $75 to $80.

RBC Capital Maintains Outperform on Edwards Lifesciences, Raises Price Target to $80

Edwards Lifesciences (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EW#NYSE">EW</a>) today announced one-year data highlighting the continued outstanding performance of its SAPIEN 3 Ultra RESILIA valve. The data were presented at PCR London Valves 2024 and simultaneously published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC): Cardiovascular Interventions.
An analysis of data from more than 9,000 propensity-matched patients in the STS/ACC TVT Registry1 demonstrated that those who received Edwards' newest generation SAPIEN 3 Ultra RESILIA valve experienced outstanding one-year outcomes that continuously surpassed recipients of the earlier generation SAPIEN 3 and SAPIEN 3 Ultra valves. Patients receiving the SAPIEN 3 Ultra RESILIA valve experienced extremely low mortality, low rates of reintervention, larger effective orifice areas, lower echo-derived gradients across all valve sizes and no paravalvular leak in 84.4% of cases.
"These strong, real-world data continue to demonstrate that patients treated with a SAPIEN valve experience excellent outcomes with rapid recovery and improved quality of life," said Larry Wood, Edwards' corporate vice president and group president, transcatheter aortic valve replacement and surgical structural heart. "These data add to the immense body of evidence with multiple years of follow up on the Edwards SAPIEN valve platform and more than 10 years of clinical experience with the RESILIA tissue."
Patients in the SAPIEN 3 Ultra RESILIA valve cohort, who had an average STS score of 3.6 and average age of 77, experienced meaningful quality of life benefits with a clinically significant average 31-point increase in KCCQ2 score and one-day length of hospital stay with 93% discharged to their homes.
"This is the first large-population study that showed the latest generation SAPIEN 3 Ultra RESILIA valve results in improved 1-year survival after TAVR versus prior generation valves, given it reduces mild or greater paravalvular leak," said Gilbert Tang, MD, MSc, MBA, Surgical and Academic Director of the Structural Heart Program for the Mount Sinai Health System and Professor and Vice-Chair of Innovation in Cardiovascular Surgery at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. "This finding particularly affected low surgical risk patients, where the impact would matter more because of their longer life expectancies."
Dr. Tang is a consultant for Edwards Lifesciences. 1 The STS/ACC TVT Registry is a collaboration between the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) and the American College of Cardiology (ACC). 2 The Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) is a 23-item survey that measures the impact of heart failure on a patient's quality of life, symptoms, and physical function.

Edwards Lifesciences' SAPIEN 3 Ultra RESILIA Valve Shows One-Year Outcomes: Data Presented at PCR London Valves

On Wednesday,&nbsp;Boston Scientific Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BSX#NYSE">BSX</a>) released the results of the primary endpoint of the ACURATE IDE trial of&nbsp;ACURATE&nbsp;neo2 Aortic Valve System for patients with severe, symptomatic aortic stenosis at risk of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/10/n41629382/acurate-neo2-aortic-valve-system-data-presented-at-late-breaking-clinical-trial-session-at-tct-202" rel="noreferrer noopener">open-heart surgery</a>.
The data were presented at Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics 2024, the annual scientific symposium of the Cardiovascular Research Foundation.
This randomized trial evaluated the ACURATE&nbsp;neo2 valve, the company&#8217;s second-generation transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) technology, versus a pre-defined control valve, either the commercially available SAPIEN valve or the Evolut transcatheter aortic valve system.
SAPIEN valve is sold by Edwards Lifesciences Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EW#NYSE">EW</a>), and Evolut is Medtronic Plc&#8217;s NYSE: MDT) brand.
The composite rate of all-cause mortality, stroke, or rehospitalization at one year was 16.16% in the ACURATE&nbsp;neo2 arm and 9.53% in the control arm, not meeting the prespecified criterion for non-inferiority (the posterior probability for non-inferiority was 77.9%, which is lower than the non-inferiority test threshold of 97.5%).
&#8220;This trial is the largest randomized comparison of TAVR platforms and was conducted over four years, including during a global pandemic that introduced complexities for enrollment,&#8221; said&nbsp;Michael Reardon, co-principal investigator of the ACURATE IDE trial.
The company also presented data from a post-hoc analysis to identify and evaluate expanded and under-expanded ACURATE&nbsp;neo2 valve frames within the ACURATE IDE trial.
The company reviewed key procedural factors, including pre-and post-dilation, which help prepare for, enable, and confirm proper valve expansion during the procedure.
Following this review, an assessment of implant quality for the ACURATE&nbsp;neo2 valve was initiated. The assessment highlighted that approximately 20% of the valves were under-expanded.
Data from the assessment also demonstrated that the rate of death, stroke, or rehospitalization at one year was similar between the ACURATE&nbsp;neo2 expanded group and the control group.
Boston Scientific continues to work closely with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on the regulatory strategy for approval of the ACURATE valve platform in the U.S.
The ACURATE&nbsp;neo2 Aortic Valve System and the ACURATE Prime Aortic Valve System are approved in Europe.
In the&nbsp;U.S., the ACURATE&nbsp;neo2 Aortic Valve System and the ACURATE Prime Aortic Valve System are investigational devices.
Price Action: BSX stock is down 1.66% at $83.16 at last check Wednesday.
