Consolidation du marché de l’insuffisance cardiaque - NEUTRE - OC 42€

MEDTRONIC a annoncé le rachat d’un spécialiste de l’insuffisance cardiaque gauche, HeartWare, au prix de 1,1Md$ (VE/CA 2016: 5,2x, prime: +93%). Ce prix reste raisonnable si on se réfère au multiple VE/CA (7,1x) de l’acquisition de Thoratec par St Jude Medical en 2015, mais il est justifié car HeartWare est encore à un stade moins avancé de développement. Ces différentes acquisitions montrent que Carmat évolue dans un secteur en forte consolidation. Nous considérons cependant que Carmat ne deviendra une cible M&A qu’à la suite des résultats de l’étude pivot validant la technologie à plus grande échelle. Nous maintenons notre recommandation à NEUTRE avec un objectif de 42€.
