Read MoreHide Full Article

Before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late, let's take a quick look at its most recent earnings report in order to get a better handle on the important catalysts.
Integra's Q2 Earnings, Revenues Beat Estimates, Margins Down
Integra delivered adjusted earnings per share of 71 cents in the seccond quarter of 2023, down 13.4% year over year. The metric surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 24.6%.

Segmental Details
Coming to product categories, revenues in the Codman Specialty Surgical (“CSS”) segment rose 5.1% year over year on a reported basis to $271 million (organically, up 6.3%). This improvement can be attributed to high single-digit growth in Advanced Energy driven by CUSA capital and disposables, mid-single-digit growth in CSF management, driven by Certas Plus valves, mid-single-digit growth in Dural Access and Repair driven by Mayfield and DuraGen.
Tissue Technologiesrevenues totaled $110.2 million in the second quarter, down 21.2% year over year on a reported basis and 19.7% on an organic basis.
