Jefferies reiterates a 'Buy' on Cyberonics (NASDAQ: CYBX) price target of $58.00 (from $43.00).

Analyst, Raj Denhoy, said, "Depression has grown large enough on the horizon for its consideration in the value of Cyberonics. In the five years since CMS first killed it with a noncoverage decision, the company has amassed a considerable body of support for the therapy. However reversing coverage policy is not easy and we assign a 50% probability to a positive outcome. Even with the discount, depression is worth $15 a share and we are raising our PT."

FY14 EPS estimate raised from $1.88 to $1.96.
