Edwards Lifesciences moved higher this week on a strong third-quarter 2026 report, with sales of $1.72 billion, up 11.2%, and adjusted EPS of $0.80, beating estimates by $0.06. Management raised full-year sales growth guidance to approximately 11.5% and adjusted EPS guidance to $2.97-$3.05. Alongside the results, the company presented positive PROGRESS trial data supporting earlier TAVR use in patients with moderate aortic stenosis, and at least one analyst upgraded the stock from Hold to Buy with a raised price target of $113. Shares touched a 52-week high of $98.70 during the week.

The stock closed at $99.37, up 4.4%, sitting above both its 50-day ($88.48) and 200-day ($85.61) averages, with the shorter average above the longer one, confirming an established uptrend. The GekkoIndex reads 37.5, placing EW in the Distribution zone, down 11.1 points over five days. Price sits 22.2% above Gekko Fair Value of $81.34, a gap wider than the 5% threshold typically considered meaningful.

No confirmed earnings date is currently on the calendar following the 23 July report, and no insider, Congress or unusual options activity appears in the respective 90-day and 30-day windows. Analyst sentiment remains favorable, with 12 of 13 firms rating the stock Buy and a consensus target of $101.87. Seasonally, the next 20 trading days have averaged a 1.8% return over 5 years, rising in 3 of them, a modest supportive signal worth noting alongside the current Distribution reading and the wide fair-value gap.

What they said
Edwards Lifesciences reported a stronger-than-expected Q2 2026 with total sales of $1.74 billion, up 12.5% year-over-year, and adjusted EPS of $0.78. Management raised full-year sales guidance: total company sales to $6.6B–$6.9B (10%–11% growth), TAVR sales to $4.75B–$5.0B (8%–9%) and TMTT guidance to $760M–$780M. Full-year adjusted EPS guidance of $2.95–$3.05 was reiterated, though the company now assumes an effective tax rate at the high end of its prior 16%–19% range due to Pillar Two and California R&D credit changes. Management highlighted broad-based strength across TAVR, mitral, tricuspid and surgical therapies, with notable momentum from PASCAL, EVOQUE and early adoption of SAPIEN M3. Key upcoming catalysts include PROGRESS trial data at TCT, a draft/final CMS NCD that could enable asymptomatic coverage and streamline access, and an expected U.S. PASCAL tricuspid approval in Q4. Management presented confident tone, emphasized long-term target of ~10% company sales growth and durable growth drivers across multiple platforms.
Guidance
Raised full-year sales guidance: total company sales $6.6B to $6.9B (10%–11% growth). TAVR sales $4.75B to $5.0B (8%–9%). TMTT $760M to $780M (raised from $740M–$780M). Maintained full-year adjusted EPS guidance of $2.95 to $3.05 but now assumes effective tax rate at high end of 16%–19% due to Pillar Two and California R&D credit changes.
Risks flagged
Higher-than-expected tax burden (Pillar Two, California R&D credit restrictions), challenging second-half 2026 comps and seasonality, dependence on regulatory outcomes (CMS NCD final memo, PROGRESS trial results, PASCAL tricuspid approval), potential adoption/behavioral hurdles for new indications (asymptomatic/moderate AS), and broader macro/healthcare uncertainties noted in forward-looking statements.
