** Piper Sandler says all metrics for medical device maker
CVRX.O are trending in right direction and outlook looks
promising after co's Q1 results
** Reiterates "overweight" rating
** Co reported Q1 revenue of $4.1 mln, which was stronger
than expectations of $3.8 mln thanks to growth in adoption of
its heart failure treatment device Barostim
** CVRX sees FY22 revenue in range of $20 mln to $23 mln,
above analysts' estimates
** Brokerage says co delivered on its key metrics of new
sales territories, active centers, and system sales despite some
pandemic-related headwinds
** Says given the solid quarter that CVRX just delivered,
believe asset is undervalued and encourages investors to build
positions in the name
** However, cuts PT for to $10 from $20 given environment of
declining market multiples across MedTech industry
