Analyst Commentary

Recent analyst coverage sheds light on both the strengths and potential challenges facing Tactile Systems Technology as it moves forward. Their perspectives offer insight into how current strategies and market positioning may shape valuation and growth.

• Bullish analysts note Tactile’s leadership in pneumatic compression devices for lower extremity lymphedema, citing deep penetration in a large, underserved U.S. patient population.
• The company’s AffloVest product maintains a strong number two market position in high-frequency chest wall oscillation devices for bronchiectasis, enhancing its competitive profile.
• With previous reimbursement and coverage challenges largely resolved, analysts anticipate a supportive environment that could benefit Tactile’s growth momentum in the coming years.
• Strategic optimizations and operational improvements are expected to accelerate growth further starting in 2026. This aligns with analysts’ positive long-term outlook and heightened price targets.

• Bearish analysts express caution about the diagnosis rate in Tactile’s core indications. With only 10% to 20% of potential U.S. patients identified so far, untapped demand may take time to convert.
• Despite market leadership, maintaining competitive advantages will require ongoing investment and innovation to defend existing share and expand into new segments.
• Analysts remain mindful that execution on recent strategic improvements must be consistent to justify premium valuation expectations and unlock sustained growth acceleration.
