Wedbush assumes coverage on Heartware Int'l (NASDAQ: HTWR) with an Outperform. PT $95.00 (from $105.00).

Analyst, Akiva Felt, said, "The expected Q3:12 US approval of the HVAD for Bridge-to-Transplant (BTT) will be a transformative event for HTWR, in our view, as we believe the device’s best-in-class characteristics will lead to its adoption over Thoratec’s (Nasdaq: THOR)(NEUTRAL) HeartMate II. Although expectations for BTT approval appear to be mostly reflected in HTWR’s current share price, we believe there is 10-20% of additional upside on a positive panel recommendation and subsequent approval."

Also of note, Felt sees the market potential in Destination Therapy (DT), presents long-term investors with compelling value. (expect HTWR U.S. approval in 2015). FY12 EPS loss adjusted from (4.73) to (4.69), sees FY13 loss at (0.17).
