Cochlear Bulls See No Near-Term Gene Therapy Impact -- Market Talk

Dow Jones03-25 08:18

0018 GMT - Cochlear's bulls at UBS reassure investors that any impact on demand from gene therapies for congenital hearing loss remains many years away. Analysts at the investment bank acknowledge that therapy efficacy data is encouraging but stress that there will be no near-term material impact on the Australia-listed hearing-implant maker. For now, they tell clients in a note that they expect Cochlear's new Nexa implant to boost the company's market share. A recent sell-off in the stock is just an opportunity, they add. UBS keeps a buy rating and A$302.00 target price on the stock, which is up 1.5% at A$163.77. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
