Challenged
Medical Devices & Supplies - Specialty (Neurosurgery, Wound Care, Reconstructive Surgery)

Strategic Profile

Integra is a New Jersey-based medical equipment company focused on developing products for regenerative therapy, extremity orthopedics, and neurosurgical applications. The company expects flat to low single-digit growth in its Codman Specialty Surgical segment and low to mid-single-digit growth in its Tissue Tech segment for 2026.

Cyborg Score Rationale

The company recorded a $511M goodwill impairment in 2025 and reported a GAAP net loss for the year; leverage remains elevated (net debt ~ $1.6B, ~4.5x leverage), which raises capital-allocation and downside risk concerns. Profitability metrics indicate challenges, with a negative EPS of -6.46 and a net margin of -30.15%.
