Buy

Reason

Canaccord lowered the firm's price target on Tela Bio (TELA) to $4 from $7 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The firm said they posted a challenged Q3 as it missed top-line expectations and lowered full-year guidance, though it reiterated confidence in its commercial strategy and sales force structure as recent hires Jeffrey Blizzard and Jim Hagen from Abiomed (ABMD) become increasingly important pieces to the Tela Bio story.

Piper Sandler analyst Matt O'Brien lowered the firm's price target on Tela Bio to $1.25 from $2 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares. The firm notes the company reported Q3 results which missed its estimate on the top-line and on the operating loss side of things. Revenue guidance for the year was lowered, which is certainly a disappointing update, Piper adds.

Strong Buy

Reason

Canaccord lowered the firm's price target on Tela Bio to $7 from $12 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The firm said they posted a tough quarter significantly below consensus revenues as it lost a number of sales reps to competitors in the Q4 with the sales org already lean post commercial streamlining in the Q3. While the Q4 was a challenging one, the management team are experienced MedTech operators, and Canaccord believes they would need to see sustained sales org churn before becoming materially less constructive.
