Integer Holdings Segmental Analysis

Integer Holdings operates through three product lines — Cardio and Vascular (C&V); Cardiac Rhythm Management & Neuromodulation (CRM&N) and Other Markets.

During the third quarter of 2025, management began referring to ITGR’s Advanced Surgical, Orthopedics & Portable Medical product line as the Other Markets product line. This was aimed at better capturing the evolving nature of the company’s products and ongoing strategic focus. Per management, the name change has no impact on the financial information previously reported.

Revenues of the C&V business totaled $277.1 million, up 14.9% from the prior-year quarter on a reported basis and up 8.5% organically. Strong growth in the segment was driven by new product ramps in electrophysiology, Precision Coating and VSi Parylene acquisitions and strong customer demand in neurovascular. This compares to our third-quarter projection of $261.9 million.

Revenues of the CRM&N business were $169.2 million, up 2.5% year over year on a reported as well as on an organic basis. The solid year-over-year performance was driven by strong growth in emerging Neuromodulation customers with premarket approval products and normalized CRM growth. This compares to our third-quarter projection of $173.8 million for the product line.

Integer Holdings’ Other Markets revenues amounted to $21.4 million, down 15.5% year over year on a reported basis, but up 27.5% on an organic basis. Per management, this resulted from the execution of the planned multi-year Portable Medical exit announced in 2022. This compares to our third-quarter projection of $26.7 million for Other Markets revenues.

Our Take

Integer Holdings exited the third quarter of 2025 with strong results. The strong year-over-year top-line and bottom-line performances were impressive. Strength in the majority of the product lines was encouraging. However, Integer Holdings’ strong quarterly execution was overshadowed by investor concerns about its outlook for 2026, which sent the stock tumbling more than 30% yesterday. While the company delivered solid sales growth and healthy profit expansion this quarter, management’s guidance for next year signaled a pause in momentum, projecting revenue growth between a 2% decline and a modest 2% increase. That cautious tone caught investors off guard, especially following several quarters of consistent double-digit gains.

Shares of ITGR have lost 44.2% so far this year compared with the industry’s 1.9% decline. The S&P 500 Index has increased 14.9% during the same time frame.

The sharp dip in Integer Holdings’ stock is likely about expectations, not performance. The company warned that 2026 could be a slower year as some customer programs and new product launches take longer to ramp up, but this looks like a short-term pause rather than a long-term issue. Management expects growth to bounce back in 2027 as those projects gain traction.
