2336 GMT - Cochlear shakes off its bear at Citi on the assumption that the hearing-implant manufacturer can maintain the pace of revenue growth set over the past decade. Noting a 13% share-price decline since the Australia-listed company's annual result announcement, analyst Mathieu Chevrier tells clients that he thinks Cochlear can keep growing annual revenue at the 10% seen over the past decade. He writes in a note that ongoing investment in sales and marketing, coupled with R&D, should support this growth. Citi lifts its target price 20% to A$305.00 and raises its recommendation to neutral from sell. Shares are at A$287.70 ahead of the open. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
