barrons2	Outperform - Price 50 on Oct. 16 by Bear Stearns Target: 60. We are lowering our fiscal-year '08 sales and EPS estimates to $13.1 billion (+7%) and $2.55 (+6%), from $13.5B (+10%) and $2.71 (+12%) after MDT's ICD [implantable cardioverter-defibrillator] lead recall. We expect an approximately $200 million F2Q08 negative sales impact from pulling inventory...Our FY09 sales and EPS estimate also move down to $14.6B (+11%) and $2.95 (+16%), from $15.1B (+11%) and $3.12 (+15%). We're lowering price target to 60 for year-end '08 from 65 by applying a 20 times P/E multiple to our new $2.95 FY09 EPS estimate. MDT's ICD recall is likely to delay a market rebound until [calendar] '08 and to pressure growth.	Love	October 20, 2007
