Edwards Lifesciences Corp EW shares are trading higher by $5.78 (7 percent) by $89.51 in Thursday's session. The catalyst for the rally is the announcement of raised guidance for FY 2017 from earnings of $2.88 per share to $3.30-$3.45.
The issue, which had put in a series of five lows over that last five sessions from the $81.12 to $82.41, has now distanced itself from that area.
Following a higher open, it retreated only $0.28 to $85.27 before continuing its move higher. So far, the ensuing rally has reached $91.34, but now is struggling to remain in the $90.00 handle. That high comes in just above a pair of from November 17 ($90.83) and November 18 ($90.99).
