MedTech Bioventus' Stabilization Sparks Analyst Confidence, Earns Upgrade And Price Target Boost
Portfolio Pulse from Vandana Singh
Bioventus Inc (NASDAQ:BVS) has been upgraded by Canaccord Genuity from Hold to Buy with a price target increase to $7 from $3.66. The upgrade is based on the company's stabilization and management's strategic investments in the Exogen business, which are expected to drive future growth. The company is focusing on enhancing EBITDA and cash flows in 2023, with plans to bolster revenue growth and maintain operational margins in 2024, and expand margins to exceed 20% EBITDA by 2025-2026. Despite potential issues with interest coverage covenants and the need for a permanent CEO, the stock's low valuation at 1.4x 2024 EV/Sales suggests a high probability of continued improvement. BVS shares have risen 16.60% to $5.27.
