Teleflex Announces CEO Transition Amid Strategic Portfolio Shift

Teleflex ( (TFX) ) has provided an update.

Teleflex announced a major leadership transition effective January 7–8, 2026, with long-time Chairman, President and CEO Liam Kelly departing and board member Stuart Randle, a veteran medical device executive with more than 35 years’ industry experience and a Teleflex director since 2009, stepping in as interim president and CEO. Lead independent director Stephen Klasko was appointed independent chair of the board, while the board engaged Spencer Stuart to search for a permanent chief executive, and Randle’s interim role was formalized through a short-term employment letter that includes a substantial monthly stipend and a $1.5 million restricted stock grant; Kelly, subject to executing a release of claims, is eligible for severance and equity vesting under his existing agreements. The leadership reshuffle comes as Teleflex pursues a strategic transformation following the announced sale of its Acute Care, Interventional Urology and OEM businesses to sharpen its focus on core critical care and high-acuity markets, and it coincided with a downgrade to preliminary full-year 2025 revenue expectations to $3.270 billion–$3.278 billion from prior guidance of $3.305 billion–$3.320 billion, reflecting softer demand for intra-aortic balloon pumps and catheters in the U.S. and Asia, OEM order delays and lower volumes in certain portfolio segments, developments that underscore both operational headwinds and the execution risk around its portfolio repositioning for investors and other stakeholders.

The most recent analyst rating on (TFX) stock is a Hold with a $135.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Teleflex stock, see the TFX Stock Forecast page.
