Livanova stock price target raised to $65 from $55 at Mizuho

Investing.com - Mizuho (NYSE:MFG) raised its price target on Livanova (NASDAQ:LIVN) to $65.00 from $55.00 on Thursday, while maintaining an Outperform rating on the medical technology company’s stock. The company’s shares have already shown strong momentum, posting a 12.25% gain over the past week. According to InvestingPro analysis, LivaNova appears undervalued at current levels, with additional upside potential.

The price target increase follows Livanova’s strong quarterly performance, which included a $20 million revenue beat and earnings that exceeded expectations by $0.18 per share. Mizuho attributed the outperformance to continued momentum in the company’s Cardiopulmonary segment, driven by the Essenz HLM launch across Europe. The company maintains a healthy gross profit margin of 69.45% and operates with a moderate debt level, as highlighted by InvestingPro’s financial health assessment.

Livanova also reported quarter-over-quarter improvement in U.S. Epilepsy volumes despite ongoing challenges related to a field action safety notice. The company raised its full-year revenue guidance to 8-9% growth from the previous 6-7% forecast.

The improved outlook is supported by higher expectations for the Cardiopulmonary segment, now projected to grow 12-13% versus the prior 9-10% estimate, and the Epilepsy segment, revised to 4.5-5.5% growth from 4-5% previously.

Mizuho highlighted several positive catalysts ahead, including favorable real-world results from the VNS Epilepsy study, a national coverage reconsideration for Depression treatment, and potential details about Sleep Apnea launch plans at the December analyst day. Analysts maintain a strong bullish consensus on the stock, with price targets ranging from $53 to $80.
