Profound Medical Gets Bullish Call From Stifel -- Market Talk

Dow Jones07-16

1113 ET - Shares in Profound Medical are sharply higher following a Stifel upgrade to buy from hold. Analysts cite an announcement from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services proposing what they call "first-time-ever, competitive TULSA procedure-specific reimbursement." TULSA, developed by Profound Medical, is a minimally invasive, incision-free procedure that uses ultrasound to treat prostate cancer. The analysts expect CMS will confirm/finalize these initial reimbursement proposals in late October/early November. While the company still has considerable operational, commercial, and clinical work ahead to further the treatment's market share, the CMS reimbursement marks a critical milestone, the analysts add. Stifel raises the target price to $12 from $9. Profound Medical surges 9.3% to $10. (don.forbes@wsj.com)
