Nevro Corp. (NVRO+5.4%) continues to trade higher after the company announced the FDA approval of its Senza Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) system as a treatment of chronic pain linked to Painful Diabetic Neuropathy (PDN).
Commenting on the results, Piper Sandler analyst Adam Maeder notes that the FDA greenlight offers a “meaningful multi-year growth driver to the NVRO story.”
“While SCS volumes are admittedly taking a bit longer than expected to snapback, the key tenets of our NVRO thesis remain intact,” Maeder argues.
With the company planning to initiate the commercial launch activities of Senza System in the U.S. immediately, the approval signifies an “important milestone,” the analyst says, citing a multi-year first-mover advantage for the company in the sizable end market.
Piper Sandler has an overweight rating on Nevro, and the $200 per share price target implies a premium of ~38.7% to the last close.
