BMO Capital analyst Joanne Wuensch raised her price target on Abbott to $94 and kept her Outperform rating after its Q2 earnings beat and a raise in FY19 guidance, saying the company is among a "handful" of medtech names that deliver above-market revenue and double-digit earnings growth along with operating leverage. The analyst notes that following its AbbVie spinoff and acquisition of St. Jude Medical and Alere, Abbott's growth drivers of Alinity, Libre and MitraClip are "humming along" - a trend she expects to continue.
