Just one business day after a short seller slammed teeth-straightening startup SmileDirectClub alleging that it has cut corners and put customers at risk, the banks that led its September initial public offering have published notes on the company, with all 10 rating it the equivalent of buy.

The stock has struggled since its IPO and is 34% below its issue price of $23.
