JP Morgan has reaffirmed its 'overweight' rating on ConvaTec Group PLC, expressing confidence that the medical products company will meet its 2026 earnings guidance and that its 2027 outlook is becoming more secure. Ahead of ConvaTec's 10-month trading update scheduled for November 18, JP Morgan adjusted its divisional growth mix but kept overall forecasts steady, raising earnings per share estimates by nearly 8%. The bank highlighted expected growth acceleration in the second half of 2026, driven by a better product mix, order timing, and cost efficiencies, all seen as manageable by management. JP Morgan also noted ConvaTec's attractive valuation compared to Danish rival Coloplast, suggesting a potential investment strategy favoring ConvaTec due to its lower earnings multiples and reduced guidance risks.
