Jefferies analyst Raj Denhoy reiterated a Buy rating and lifted his price target on NuVasive (NASDAQ: NUVA) to $72.00 (from $63.00) following results.

Denhoy commented, "NuVasive put up a $2mn/$0.01 rev./EPS beat and raised guidance for the year. The top-line (+8.6% ex-FX, ex-NSO) was driven by continued positive trends in Hardware and Support (which will include Biotronic going forwards) and another very strong quarter for the international business (+33% ex-FX). FY16 sales guidance raised to $962mn and includes $27mn from Biotronic."
