Straumann tops STOXX after sale of DrSmile biz, outlook hike
Updates share move, adds milestone and additional comment in the fourth bullet point
** Shares of Straumann STMN.S are up around 14% at 0838 GMT afterthe Swiss dental implant maker raised its guidance for 2024 and announced sale of its DrSmile aligner business
** It now expects organic revenue growth for 2024 in a low double-digit percentage range, with profitability of 27-28% at constant 2023 currency rates, up from the earlier forecast of around 26%
** Straumann said it would keep a minority stake of 20% in DrSmile, a direct-to-consumer business, but plans to focus more on go-to-market activities in the business-to-business area
** "Reported revenue downgrades from Dr Smile exit are likely to be more than offset by taking out the Dr Smile losses," J.P.Morgan says in a note
**Barclays notes the company's H1 results came in better than expected which combined with the exit of DrSmile and commentary around stable patient flow should drive outperformance in the shares, which are highly shorted
** Straumann H1 core EBIT margin came in at 27.8%, beating analysts' expectations of 24.8%
** The stock is topping STOXX 600.STOXX index and is on track for its best day since 1998, if the gains hold
