In a report released yesterday, Caitlin Cronin from Canaccord Genuity maintained a Buy rating on Bioventus (BVS – Research Report), with a price target of $15.00.

Caitlin Cronin has given her Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Bioventus’s strong performance and future potential. The company has shown resilience by meeting or exceeding revenue growth expectations despite challenges such as fewer selling days and specific segment weaknesses. Bioventus has maintained its guidance for organic growth and expects to overcome current headwinds, with plans to accelerate growth in the latter half of the year.
Moreover, the company has demonstrated significant improvements in its financial metrics, including adjusted EBITDA margin expansion and free cash flow growth. Bioventus is also strategically positioned to reduce leverage and enhance cash flow from operations by 2025. The company’s ability to invest in commercial and R&D initiatives, coupled with its attractive valuation compared to peers, supports the Buy rating. Additionally, Bioventus’s focus on expanding its capabilities in pain treatments and international markets further strengthens its long-term growth prospects.
