The medical-technology company Medtronic grabbed an upgrade from Wells Fargo on Monday, helping push shares higher.

Analysts led by Larry Biegelsen raised their target for the stock price to $100 from $77 previously, changing their rating to Overweight from Equal Weight. They said the general medtech market is improving and that Medtronic’s (ticker: MDT) own pipeline of products is maturing. U.S. approval of the company’s 708G insulin delivery system is a “major milestone,” Wells Fargo said in a research report.
