Establishment Labs Holdings stock rose 7.96% to $62.49 on Tuesday, driven by a new Buy rating from Stifel and a reiterated Buy from TD Cowen ahead of a key FDA decision. The shares also printed 12 fresh 52-week highs during the session, reflecting strong momentum despite a modest volume print.

What Happened

Separately, TD Cowen reiterated its Buy rating on the stock, maintaining a price target of $117 ahead of an upcoming FDA decision.

In related news, Establishment Labs extended its master supply agreement with NuSil Technology to December 31, 2031. The company also announced that the FDA approved 28 new sizes of Motiva breast implants, which are available before year-end. Additionally, Establishment Labs is scheduled to present new breast tissue preservation data and announce minimally invasive product extensions at the 11th World Symposium on Ergonomic Implants.
