Ceribell stock holds $36 target amid US-China trade deal hopes

On Tuesday, TD Cowen reaffirmed its positive stance on Ceribell (NASDAQ:CBLL), maintaining a Buy rating and a $36.00 price target for the company’s shares. According to InvestingPro data, this target represents significant upside potential from the current trading price of $16.29, with analyst targets ranging from $26 to $36. The stock currently appears undervalued based on InvestingPro’s Fair Value analysis. The firm’s analysis suggests that Ceribell stands to gain considerably from the easing of trade tensions between China and the United States, particularly in light of a potential trade agreement on the horizon.

Ceribell, which has been contending with tariffs on its China-sourced goods, previously indicated that these tariffs could compress its gross margins by "less than 10%" starting in the fourth quarter of 2025. However, with trade deal discussions progressing, TD Cowen sees a significant opportunity for improved margin outcomes for Ceribell.

Despite the imposition of tariffs, Ceribell’s gross margins have remained robust, ranking highly within the medical technology sector covered by TD Cowen. InvestingPro data reveals an impressive gross profit margin of 87.25% in the last twelve months, demonstrating the company’s pricing power and operational efficiency. This is one of several key metrics available to Pro subscribers, along with 10 exclusive ProTips that provide deeper insights into the company’s performance. Nonetheless, Ceribell’s stock experienced a downturn on Friday after the company reported first-quarter earnings that surpassed expectations and provided updated margin guidance. Analysts at TD Cowen consider the recent decline in Ceribell’s share value to be an overreaction, especially given the potential for tariff relief stemming from trade negotiations.

The firm emphasizes that Ceribell’s financial health was strong even with the tariff headwinds, which is a testament to the company’s resilience. The anticipation of a trade deal between the US and China could serve to further bolster Ceribell’s position, potentially easing the cost pressures associated with its headband manufacturing operations.

Investors are keeping a close eye on the unfolding trade discussions, as any positive developments could have a favorable impact on Ceribell’s cost structure and subsequent profitability. The reaffirmed Buy rating and price target by TD Cowen reflect confidence in Ceribell’s prospects and its ability to navigate the complexities of international trade. Recent momentum is evident in the stock’s 8.81% gain over the past week, though InvestingPro analysis indicates that profitability remains a key focus area, with net income expected to decrease this year.

This positive outlook reflects management’s confidence in sustained growth, bolstered by the FDA clearance of a new pediatric seizure detection algorithm. Additionally, CeriBell has received FedRAMP high authorization from the U.S. Government, allowing other government agencies to utilize its system. Analyst firms such as Bank of America and JPMorgan have noted these developments, with Bank of America highlighting CeriBell’s raised guidance as a reflection of increased confidence in their strategies. The company is also actively addressing potential impacts from tariffs on gross margins and plans to continue investing in research and development. These recent developments indicate that CeriBell is poised for further growth in the EEG technology market.
