Company Report

Teleflex: Fair Value Estimate Revised Upward; Outlook Strong, but Acquisitions Warrant Scrutiny

We are refreshing our views on Teleflex and reiterating our no-moat rating. We think its portfolio is solid and can see high-single-digit operating profit growth over the next few years. However, the firm is acquisitive, and it's unclear whether any future acquisitions will be value accretive to shareholders given our analysis of its historical returns. We've raised our fair value estimate to $225 per share from $211 due to a decrease in our cost of capital assumption.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

UroLift provides a meaningful clinical benefit in an area of unmet needs. Together with Barrigel, Telelfex has a decent chance of building a strong business in interventional urology.

Bears

Historical acquisitions have not materially improved the company's return on capital, and the pricing and performance of future acquisitions should be carefully monitored.
