Shares of C.R. Bard BCR are down following a report from Barclays regarding test results and the Medtronic MDT and Covidien COV merger, which may “create a headwind.”
Analyst Matthew Taylor writes about difficulties, “Based on our channel checks and prior work, we think there is risk around: a) how much DCB's will be used vs. PTA/stenting; b) reimbursement/add-on payments; and c) market share vs. MDT. Our model now contemplates a roughly 20% split for BCR and 80% for MDT in the US.”
