Canaccord analyst Mark Massaro remains positive on Quidel (QDEL) after hosting meetings with management. The analyst cited rising demand for its new products and he expects the company to continue to take market share from larger companies Alere (ABT) and Becton Dickinson (BDX). He also believes the company could draw interest from a larger company, like the bid Alere got from Abbott. Massaro reiterated his Buy rating and raised his price target to $80 from $78 on Quidel shares.

RBC Capital lowered the firm's price target on Abbott to $125 from $128 but keeps an Outperform rating on the shares. The analyst states that despite a strong Q1 with 10.8% underlying revenue and double-digit EPS growth, the stock was down 3%, which reflects sentiment on the broader MedTech space, where high expectations require a beat and raise for stocks to be rewarded. RBC maintains however that it sees upside potential for Abbott "as 2024 drivers take hold".
