On June 24, Edwards Lifesciences rose 3.53% in regular trading, trading at $90.2/share, with turnover of $54.138 million. The gain was driven by the continued positive impact of a CMS-issued TAVR National Coverage Determination memo.
RBC Capital Markets previously identified the memo as a significant catalyst for Edwards Lifesciences. According to RBC's physician survey, the coverage scope change could drive approximately 5% growth in national TAVR procedure volumes. Notably, the transition to a single-operator model is expected to yield the most significant improvement in surgical efficiency, accompanied by an expansion of eligible procedure sites. These factors collectively enhance Edwards' revenue outlook in its core transcatheter heart valve replacement business.
Within the Health Care Equipment sector, Stryker rose 2.4%, Abbott Laboratories rose 2.11%, and Intuitive Surgical rose 1.09%, reflecting broad sector strength.
