Brean Murray Carret & Co. downgraded NuVasive (NASDAQ: NUVA) from Buy to Hold after last night's warning.
"The miss was due to weakness in the core US Lumbar business (IOM was also weak), but it had less to do with the competitive positioning, and the pipeline, which we had been focused on, and more to do with shifting market dynamics. Specifically, NUVA estimates it lost $15-25 million of annualized business, with half the loss coming from physician practices switching to Physician Owned Distributors (PODs)--which NUVA doesn’t do business with--and the other half from poached sales reps (about 50%)."
