Canaccord Genuity reiterates a' Buy' on Edwards Lifesciences (NYSE: EW) price target of $93.00.

Analyst, Jason R. Mills, said, "SOURCE XT showed a 30-day mortality rate of 6.3% vs. 8.8% in the original SOURCE registry. We believe the mix of T-F/TA patients, as well as baseline characteristics, affected outcomes. Specifically, renal dysfunction was associated with higher mortality rates in SOURCE, yet 28% of SOURCE XT patients had renal insufficiency, suggesting that some European physicians may not be applying previous learnings to patient selection. We don’t think that’s the case in the US. This, combined with improved outcomes in SOURCE XT, makes us optimistic on PARTNER II results."
