Seaport Global Securities Downgrades Colfax Corporation (CFX) to Neutral

Seaport Global Securities analyst Walt Liptak downgraded Colfax Corporation (NYSE: CFX) from Buy to Neutral.

The analyst commented, "In our view, CFX's 2022 outlook has become more complex due to the potential COVID-19 impact on the MedTech segment. Zimmer Bio (ZBH) reported a worse than expected Q4:21, and lowered the 2022 outlook for a more difficult Q4:21 and January 2022, related to fewer elective surgeries and hospital staffing shortages. We are lowering our 2022 EPS estimate to $2.42 (from $2.80; consensus $2.56). Our revised 2022 EPS estimate is due to the negative read thru from ZBH's (reported February 7, 2022). We are fine-tuning our FabTech welding outlook. We are initiating a 2023 EPS estimate of $2.53 (consensus $2.86). We are lowering our rating to Neutral (from Buy) due to the negative read thru from ZBH."
