Inspire Medical stock price target lowered to $125 at RBC on 2026 guidance

Investing.com - RBC Capital lowered its price target on Inspire Medical Systems (NYSE:INSP) to $125 from $150 while maintaining an Outperform rating. The new target still suggests significant upside from the current price of $73.71, with INSP trading near its 52-week low of $70.77 and approximately 66% below its 52-week high of $216.01.

The firm cited Inspire Medical’s "early indication" of 10-11% year-over-year growth for 2026, which falls below the consensus expectation of 14% growth, despite positive early metrics from the Inspire V device ramp-up. This projection comes as InvestingPro data shows the company achieved 16.8% revenue growth over the last twelve months, suggesting a potential slowdown ahead. According to InvestingPro’s Fair Value analysis, INSP appears undervalued despite its recent challenges.

Inspire Medical reported third-quarter revenue growth of 10.5% year-over-year, consistent with the second quarter but below the first quarter’s 22.7% growth, reflecting what RBC described as "a year still in transition."

The company delivered a marginal third-quarter revenue beat of 2% but significantly exceeded earnings per share expectations by $0.57 on what RBC characterized as "a low bar."

RBC suggested that Inspire’s 2026 guidance represents a "base case off which it can make room to beat/raise" and provides flexibility for potential headwinds and tailwinds as the business develops.

In other recent news, Inspire Medical Systems reported third-quarter 2025 revenue of $224.5 million, surpassing analyst expectations of $220.4 million.
