Integra LifeSciences shares drop 17% on revenue miss and probe
Integra LifeSciences (IART) shares dropped 17% after missing Q3 revenue estimates ($410M-$412M vs. $416.3M) and lowering FY26 guidance due to flood damage. The company faces a probe over potential misleading statements. Q4 revenue may be further impacted by $15M-$20M. Insurance is expected to mitigate some losses.
How this was made

The 30-second read
Why it matters
The combination of a revenue miss, lowered guidance, and legal scrutiny creates immediate downside risk, but insurance recoveries and cash flow strength may cushion long‑term performance.
Market read

What to watch
Potential upside from cost‑cutting measures and strong cash flow generation not fully reflected in the price decline.
Background
Integra LifeSciences disclosed a July flood at its Cincinnati plant that reduced Q3 revenue and prompted a $7M impact, leading to a guidance cut and a securities investigation.
