Jefferies reiterated a Buy rating on Edwards Lifesciences (NYSE: EW) and increased its price target to $125.00 (from $115.00).

“We published two physician surveys on transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), one of early adopters and the other of current non-users,” said analyst Raj Denhoy.“Based on the results, which show strong and sustainable procedure growth, we are increasing our forecasts and target.”

Overall, the survey showed very good growth trends for Sapien.

“Among current users, procedure growth is expected to be very strong and among non-users, a vast majority expects to adopt the technology over the next two years. The implications on the near-term outlook for EW are likewise very favorable,” said Denhoy
