Shares of medical technology company Teleflex (NYSE:TFX)
fell 22.9% in the morning session after the company reported disappointing fourth-quarter results, with revenue missing expectations by a significant margin. On a constant currency basis, revenue increased 3.2%, but this still fell short of Wall Street's estimates. Weak demand in Interventional Urology wiped out gains in the Interventional and Surgical units.
