Leerink Swann initiates coverage on Heartware Int'l (NASDAQ: HTWR) with an Outperform. PT $95.00.

Leerink analyst says, "In the near term, HTWR shares could be volatile as investors await greater clarity on HVAD regulatory timelines. But, over the next 12 months, we think HTWR shares should move higher driven by: 1) regulatory milestones, including an FDA panel and ultimate HVAD approval; 2) incremental data updates that should further mitigate HVAD thrombus concerns; 3) rapid BTT market share gains that should help drive 50%+ 2013 sales growth---over 2x the current average projected growth rate for comparable small-cap MedTech companies; and 4) further pipeline progress, including first-inman clinical trials for the next-gen MVAD, expected to begin in 1H12."
