<p>Last year, <strong>Morgan Stanley</strong> upgraded its outlook for the U.S. MedTech sector to &#8220;Attractive,&#8221; believing the concerns around GLP-1s were already reflected in stock prices and that fundamentals were strong.</p>
<p>However, this view didn&#8217;t play out as expected, mainly due to unforeseen, company-specific issues, such as <strong>DexCom, Inc&#8217;s </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DXCM#NASDAQ">DXCM</a>) unexpected <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/07/39988466/dexcom-faces-short-term-challenges-but-market-growth-prospects-remain-strong-analys" rel="noreferrer noopener">Q2 channel mix challenges</a>, <strong>Edwards Lifesciences Corporation&#8217;s</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EW#NYSE">EW</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/07/39967649/edwards-lifesciences-stock-tumbles-highlights-slowdown-in-tavr-business" rel="noreferrer noopener">slowdown in TAVR procedures</a>, <strong>TransMedics Group, Inc&#8217;s</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMDX#NASDAQ">TMDX</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41608129/organ-transplant-medtech-transmedics-q3-performance-disappoints-analyst-outlines-in" rel="noreferrer noopener">seasonal impacts</a>, and <strong>iRhythm Technologies, Inc&#8217;s</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IRTC#NASDAQ">IRTC</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41462205/with-fda-approval-irhythm-may-be-able-to-lift-regulatory-overhang-investor-skeptici" rel="noreferrer noopener">DOJ investigation</a>.</p>
<p>Morgan Stanley is bullish on the MedTech industry as volumes and pipelines continue to be strong into 2025 despite a shakey 2024.</p>
<p>The analyst also adds that MedTech seems less exposed to potential delays from extended FDA regulatory pathways than other healthcare sectors, given its lower reliance on PMAs and clinical-trial-heavy products.</p>
<p>The analyst adds that while single-stock surprises are inevitable, the overall outlook for the sector heading into 2025 remains favorable.</p>
<p>Morgan Stanley upgraded the outlook on <strong>Intuitive Surgical Inc</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ISRG#NASDAQ">ISRG</a>) and <strong>Stryker Corp</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SYK#NYSE">SYK</a>), moving both to Overweight from Equal-weight, citing:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>ISRG</strong>: Strong demand for the Da Vinci Dv5 system is expected to exceed market expectations for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41406234/intuitive-surgical-posts-q3-earnings-beat-these-analysts-raise-forecasts-on-dv5-upt" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">installed base growth</a>.</li>
<li><strong>SYK</strong>: While orthopedic procedure volumes face some uncertainty, an estimated $1 billion—$2 billion backlog could drive growth in 2025.

</ul>
<p><strong><u>Additional updates:</u></strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Procept BioRobotics Corporation</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PRCT#NASDAQ">PRCT</a>): Initiated at Overweight, driven by increasing demand and higher pricing for Hydros in operating room efficiency, particularly in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41583831/surgical-robotics-provider-procept-biorobotics-q3-earnings-beats-street-view-analys" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">lower-volume BPH centers</a>.</li>
<li><strong>Tandem Diabetes Care Inc </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TNDM#NASDAQ">TNDM</a>): Upgraded to Overweight with a $45 price target, as its valuation (below 2x sales) seems overly compressed.

<li><strong>Globus Medical Inc</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GMED#NYSE">GMED</a>): Upgraded to Overweight with a $100 price target as merger concerns ease and strong above-market growth persists.</li>
<li><strong>Embecta Corp </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EMBC#NASDAQ">EMBC</a>): Raised to Equal-weight from Underweight, factoring in the discontinuation of certain risks and potential upside from GLP-1 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41148635/tandem-diabetes-insulin-pump-demand-to-surge-despite-popular-demand-of-weight-loss-drugs-bullish-ana" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">pen needle demand</a>.</li>
</ul>
<p>The analyst is more cautious about <strong>Glaukos Corporation</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GKOS#NYSE">GKOS</a>), downgrading it to Underweight from Equal-weight. The analyst notes that iDose is a strong product with promising long-term potential, but the current valuation limits the upside compared to other stocks. Additionally, although the pipeline includes exciting projects like Wet AMD, they remain <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41752463/glaukos-reports-30-boost-in-glaucoma-sales-improved-margins-in-q3-analyst-highlights-certain-headwi" rel="noreferrer noopener">years away from fruition</a>.</p>
<p>Morgan Stanley has downgraded <strong>Nevro Corp</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVRO#NYSE">NVRO</a>) to Underweight from Equal-weight. Despite trading near record lows, the analyst expects weak demand for spinal cord stimulation devices to persist, with limited <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/24/11/41910770/why-medical-device-firm-nevro-stock-is-trading-higher-on-tuesday" rel="noreferrer noopener">opportunities for cost reductions</a>.</p>
<p>The analyst remains cautious about <strong>STAAR Surgical</strong> <strong>Company </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STAA#NASDAQ">STAA</a>). While the company is executing well, it faces tough conditions in the refractive surgery market, particularly in China and the U.S.</p>
<p>Lastly, Morgan Stanley is cautious about <strong>Baxter International Inc.</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAX#NYSE">BAX</a>) because it offers fewer upside opportunities than peers and has a more conservative outlook <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/24/11/41845345/baxter-expects-hurricane-helene-aftermath-to-impact-near-term-financial-outlook" rel="noreferrer noopener">on operating margins</a>.</p>
