Our Take on GMED
Globus Medical exited the first quarter of 2025 with lower-than-expected results, with both earnings and revenues missing their respective estimates. The performance was affected by softer Enabling Technology deal closures, temporary integration-related supply-chain disruption, and the timing of international distributor orders.
On the other hand, GMED introduced two innovative new products — the COHERE ALIF Spacer and Modulus ALIF Blades. Furthermore, the robust expansion of margins in the quarter is highly encouraging.
Meanwhile, the company’s lowered 2025 EPS guidance adds to the worry.
