Wells Fargo says White House IVF access plans a positive for Cooper Companies

Wells Fargo analyst Larry Biegelsen notes that the New York Times reports that the White House plans to announce a proposal to expand access to in vitro fertilization, which the firm views as a positive for Cooper Companies (COO). While the firm expects Cooper’s IVF performance to stay pressured in Q4 due to tough comps, it thinks the new reported policy should strengthen the longer-term IVF market growth outlook. The firm keeps an Overweight rating and $72 price target on Cooper shares.
