JMP analysts subsequently lowered their price target for Integra to $25 from $35, although they retained a Market Outperform rating, citing confidence in the company’s ability to address current challenges. The analysts noted that the company’s EPS forecast for the year was reduced by $0.22 at the midpoint due to tariff impacts. They also emphasized that Integra’s quality issues are considered solvable and not a long-term threat. Furthermore, Integra is experiencing ongoing supply chain and ship hold challenges but expects improvements in the second half of 2025. The company is also actively pursuing strategies to mitigate the effects of tariffs, which are estimated to impact profitability by $22 million for 2025.
