Teleflex (TFX): Guidance Cut Meets A Bigger Buyback Push
Teleflex (TFX) reported Q2 revenue of $570.3M, up 28.9% YoY, but GAAP EPS fell to $0.96. The company completed a $1.5B divestiture, repurchased $250M in stock, and raised full-year adjusted EPS guidance to $6.90-$7.20. However, it cut full-year revenue and EPS growth forecasts due to slower-than-expected integration of its Biotronik acquisition.
