Profound Medical (NASDAQ:PROF) soared on Monday as investment bank Raymond James raised its rating on the medical device company to Strong Buy from Outperform and maintained a price target of $20.00.

PROF traded 18.63% higher at $9.49 in afternoon trading.

Drawing parallels with PROCEPT BioRobotics (PRCT), Raymond James said that PRCT's Current Procedural Terminology (CPT)-driven revenue trajectory portends a revenue inflection for PROF in 2025 once its new CPT reimbursement codes come into force.

"We expect this revenue inflection to begin pricing-in to the stock in 1H24, so are raising our rating to Strong Buy," said analysts at Raymond James.

PROCEPT Biorobotics, which quadrupled its revenue with CPT-1 reimbursement commencing ~Jan. 2021, was noted by Raymond James to have its reimbursement and sales path highly predictive of Profound Medical.

The investment bank also expected CPT -1 reimbursement to drive Profound Medical's 2025 revenue to about $40 million.

Profound Medical has fallen 14.12% since the start of the year but has gained about 80.76% on a 12-month reading. PROF is rated Buy by SA analysts and Wall Street but is marked Hold by the Seeking Alpha Quant rating system.
