** Brokerage Evercore ISI starts coverage on medical device
maker LumiraDx Ltd LMDX.O with "outperform" rating and PT of
$20 - highest on Wall Street
** Co has developed COVID-19 diagnostics tests that are
performed near point of care, usually patient's bedside, versus
tests that need to be sent to lab for processing
** While these terms may sound generic, we believe co has
unique technology differentiation vs peers - Evercore ISI
** Brokerage also says it believes co's management team
understands cos' end markets well and can execute on its
strategy
** Before Evercore, 3 of 3 brokerages rated stock "buy" or
higher; their median PT was $13
** Up to Friday's close, stock had risen ~8% in past month
