The medical technology company has reported a strong start to the year 2025, with a 23% increase in global growth and earnings per share (EPS) surpassing expectations by $0.35. With a robust gross profit margin of 85% and revenue growth of 28.5% over the last twelve months, the company’s performance remains solid ahead of the full U.S. launch of its Inspire V product, scheduled for May 2025. According to InvestingPro analysis, the stock appears fairly valued at current levels, with 11 more exclusive insights available to subscribers.
Inspire Medical’s first quarter success sets a positive tone for the year, despite the anticipation of the second quarter being a transitional period. The company has adjusted its quarterly estimates downward in preparation for the launch of Inspire V but expects the year to be heavily weighted towards stronger performance in the latter half. This strategic move is based on the investments being made for the launch. The company’s strong financial position, with a current ratio of 7.1 and minimal debt-to-equity of 0.05, provides ample flexibility for this strategic initiative.
Despite the adjustments, the company has reiterated its revenue guidance for 2025, projecting a year-over-year growth of 17-19%. Additionally, Inspire Medical has increased its EPS forecast by $0.10, now expecting it to fall between $2.20 and $2.30. This revision reflects both the first-quarter earnings beat and the anticipated costs associated with the Inspire V launch.
RBC Capital’s analysts have expressed a positive outlook on the potential of Inspire V, supported by their checks and the company’s progress towards profitability. The analysts believe these factors position Inspire Medical Systems favorably for the year 2025 and beyond. Following the company’s first-quarter update, RBC Capital has reaffirmed its Outperform rating and price target, signaling continued support for Inspire Medical’s stock.
