Stifel analyst Thomas Stephan lowered the firm’s price target on Sight Sciences (SGHT) to $13 from $15 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. There are “clear indications” from the likes of UnitedHealth (UNH) and Humana (HUM) that outpatient surgery volumes have accelerated of late, says the firm, which believes cataract surgery “likely falls under this umbrella” and thinks should mean MIGS trends are also solid. However, Sight Sciences shares are likely to “remain in a holding-pattern until the LCD outcomes unfold,” says the analyst, who adds that TearCare appears undervalued and sees a significant catalyst in the SAHARA 6-month readout in the coming months.
