with a Buy rating and raised the price target from $72.00 to $76.00. Stifel Nicolaus said, "[W]we surveyed 106 U.S. dentists, of which 95 are active CEREC providers. Our findings focus on Sirona's Omnicam, U.S. patient volumes and any impact on dental equipment from year-end tax purchasing. … Investors are excited about Omnicam's near-term positive impact on new CEREC users. Today's work shows there are additional catalysts that lurk around the corner, notably the Omnicam upgrade cycle. Sirona remains one of favorite names."
