Alphatec Holdings Inc. (ATEC) experienced a significant 10.58% plunge in its stock price during the after-hours trading session on Wednesday.
The medical equipment and supplies company reported its fourth-quarter earnings results, which fell short of analysts' expectations. Despite beating revenue estimates, the company posted a quarterly loss of $0.23 per share, missing the consensus estimate of $0.19 by a substantial margin.
The disappointing earnings miss appears to be the primary driver behind Alphatec's after-hours stock price decline. While the company's revenue grew by 28.14% year-over-year to $176.79 million, exceeding expectations, the wider-than-expected loss raised concerns among investors.
