Shares of Inspire Medical Systems (INSP) tumbled 6.14% in pre-market trading on Tuesday, as several Wall Street analysts lowered their price targets for the medical device company. The downward revisions have sparked concerns among investors about the company's near-term prospects.
Multiple research firms adjusted their outlook on Inspire Medical Systems. Jefferies reduced its target price to $205 from $230, while Leerink Partners lowered its target to $176 from $194. Wells Fargo also joined the bearish sentiment, cutting its price target to $174 from $195. Additionally, Morgan Stanley trimmed its target to $200 from $220, although it maintained an overweight rating on the stock.
