Inogen’s Guidance

Inogen has provided its revenue outlook for the fourth quarter and 2025.

For the fourth quarter of 2025, Inogen expects revenues in the range of $87 million-$90 million (reflecting growth of approximately 10% at the midpoint of the range from the comparable fourth-quarter 2024 revenues). The Zacks Consensus Estimate is currently pegged at $89.4 million.

For 2025, Inogen has reiterated revenues in the range of $354 million-$357 million (reflecting approximately 6% growth at the midpoint of the range from the comparable 2024 revenues). The Zacks Consensus Estimate is currently pegged at $356.5 million.

Our Take

Inogen exited the third quarter of 2025 with a narrower-than-expected loss per share and better-than-expected revenues. Solid year-over-year top-line and bottom-line performances were encouraging. The robust year-over-year uptick in domestic and international business-to-business sales was impressive. The lowering of the adjusted operating expenses also bodes well.

During the quarter, Inogen advanced its innovation roadmap with the commercial launch of the Voxi 5, a new stationary oxygen concentrator developed in partnership with UL Medical. The company highlighted strong early market reception, particularly within its B2B channel, where it previously lacked a stationary solution, marking a meaningful expansion of its respiratory care portfolio. Voxi 5 delivers 1–5 liters per minute of continuous flow oxygen in a compact, quiet design, enabling Inogen to serve home-care patients better and strengthen DME partner relationships.

In parallel, Inogen initiated a limited U.S. market release of Simeox, its bronchial-decongestion solution, as it builds prescriber familiarity and clinical support ahead of broader commercialization. Clinical trials in Europe and China are also underway to advance reimbursement and registration pathways, positioning Simeox as a differentiated future growth driver across global respiratory care markets.

Yet, a decline in domestic direct-to-consumer salesand rentalrevenues was concerning. Inogen continued to incur operating losses in the third quarter, which did not bode well.
