Penumbra’s 2025 Outlook
The company reaffirmed its 2025 revenue guidance, expected in the range of $1.34-$1.36 billion.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is currently pegged at $1.35 billion.

Our Take on PEN
Penumbra exited the first quarter of 2025 with earnings and revenues beating estimates. The performance reflects ongoing momentum across the core U.S. thrombectomy business, with the proprietary computer-assisted vacuum thrombectomy (CAVT) technology further enhancing its strong market position. In the U.S. peripheral business, the strong results underscore Lightning Flash 2.0's durable growth and momentum in Venous Thromboembolism (VTE). Expansion of both margins in the quarter is highly encouraging. Penumbra is well-positioned to achieve a gross margin profile of more than 70% by the end of 2026.
Meanwhile, given the macroeconomic scenario in China, Penumbra has excluded the previously forecasted $5 million for the remainder of the year.
