Reason
Stifel raised the firm's price target on Kestra Medical to $30 from $28 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. Coming in at the high-end of the company's December 1st preannounced sales range, Kestra reported Q2 sales at $22.6M also accelerated gross margins to about 51%, the firm notes. Stifel also points out that encouragingly, management raised full-year 2026 sales guidance to $91M from $88M, previously. As expected, this broadly positive quarterly performance was underpinned by continued ASSURE wearable cardioverter defibrillator share gains and broader market expansion.
