On July 16, Medtronic rose 3.2% in regular trading, trading at $83.82/share, with turnover of $75.349 million. The move was driven by the company's announcement that it has completed its acquisition of SPR Therapeutics for an upfront cash payment of $650 million.
SPR Therapeutics specializes in minimally invasive, non-opioid treatment solutions for chronic and acute pain. The acquisition is expected to strengthen Medtronic's positioning in the pain management space by broadening patient access to alternative therapies. The deal is expected to be minimally dilutive to Medtronic's adjusted earnings per share in fiscal 2027 and neutral to accretive thereafter.
The completion comes amid a favorable analyst backdrop. Baird recently raised its price target to $91 from $85 while maintaining a Neutral rating, and BTIG adjusted its target to $91 from $90, maintaining a Buy rating. The FactSet consensus average target stands at $96.12, implying meaningful upside from current levels. This acquisition follows Medtronic's completion of its $585 million CathWorks deal in April and $550 million Scientia Vascular acquisition in June, reflecting an active M&A strategy.
