What this transaction means for investors
Teleflex is in the middle of a messy but intentional transition, and the stock price has reflected the discomfort. Shares are down nearly 39% over the past year even as the business continues to generate real operating growth.
In the most recent quarterly release, Teleflex posted GAAP revenue of $913 million, up 19.4% year over year, with adjusted diluted EPS rising to $3.67 (compared to $3.49 one year prior). While the headline loss was driven by impairment charges tied to portfolio reshaping, interventional and vascular categories delivered standout growth, and management narrowed full-year revenue guidance and lifted adjusted EPS expectations to a $14.00 to $14.20 range.
That context matters when you look at the portfolio this position sits within. Tejara’s top holdings skew toward volatile energy, shipping, and biotech names, making Teleflex one of the more defensively structured businesses in the mix. Single-use medical devices, recurring hospital demand, and global distribution offer a very different risk profile than the fund’s higher-beta positions.
