Jefferies maintains a 'Hold' on Medtronic, Inc. (NYSE: MDT) price target of $43.00 (from $39.00).

Analyst, Raj Denhoy, said, "Medtronic reported a more or less in-line quarter, with strong growth in new products (DES, TAVR, AF) continuing to be weighed down by more mature markets (with pacemakers notably weak), and while EM growth remains strong, trends here did decelerate in the quarter. In light of the end market challenges, macroeconomic uncertainties, and fair valuation, we remain at HOLD."

FY13 EPS estimate lowered from $3.92 to $3.86.
