Jefferies maintained a Buy rating on Mindray Medical (NYSE: MR) and raised its price target to $36.00 (from $34.00).

Commenting on the company's Q3 report, Jefferies analyst Raj Denhoy said, "MR put up a mixed 3Q with a drastic slowdown in PMLS, a sequential stepback in the margin profile, but in-line non-GAAP EPS."

Denhoy expressed concern about possible deterioration in developed markets, an abrupt CEO change, and a still unresolved supplier dispute. Despite these concerns, the company's growth profile remains "top-tier".

"While we do not expect the stock to return to the sky high premiums realized through the first China HC stimulus run in 2009, we view current valuation as a touch modest given the sustainability of PRC growth and still robust bottom line growth," Denhoy said.
