Inspire Medical Systems, Inc. has experienced a dip in their stock value of 11%, despite revealing preliminary Q4 2024 results that surpassed financial experts’ predictions. The medical device company expects an earnings range of $239.5 million to $239.7 million for the quarter, which is notably higher than the original consensus prediction of $232 million. However, the projected revenues for the full year of 2025, between $940 million and $955 million, are more in line with analysts’ expectations of $950.7 million.
Inspire Medical Systems’ earnings for Q4 represent an approximate 25% growth in comparison to the same period in 2023. Moreover, the full-year 2024 revenue forecast of between $802.6 million and $802.8 million indicates an estimated 28% rise from the previous year. The period also saw the company extend its influence within the medical field, with the inauguration of 72 new US centers and the establishment of 12 new sales territories.
In addition, the company has initiated the soft launch of its Inspire V neurostimulator product, with over 40 implants carried out in Singapore and the United States. It has also introduced a new organizational structure to promote ongoing expansion. This includes Jason Kelly’s appointment as Chief Manufacturing and Quality Officer, starting January 20, 2025. Kelly’s tenure at Stryker Corporation is anticipated to enhance Inspire’s supply chain, quality assurance, and regulatory operations.
Inspire has also disclosed several significant leadership adjustments. Carlton Weatherby is stepping into the role of Chief Strategy and Growth Officer, Randy Ban is moving into the position of EVP of Patient Access and Therapy Development, Ivan Lubogo is assuming the role of SVP of Strategic Sales, and Joe Sander is being promoted to SVP of U.S. Sales. Furthermore, the company announced the departure of Dr. Charisse Sparks, the Chief Medical Officer, at the year’s start.
Despite these organizational shifts and potential revenue increases, the decrease in stock value implies that investors were possibly expecting more robust guidance for the forthcoming year.
