Upturn Advisory & Investor View for IART

10/16/2026: IART (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Integra LifeSciences is a medical device company focused on neurosurgery and regenerative tissue technology. It has built a solid reputation through specialized tools like the DuraGen dural graft, which gives it a stable market presence. Its primary growth story revolves around restoring operational stability following manufacturing setbacks and scaling its tissue technologies. Investors must weigh these growth opportunities against risks like intense competition from large med-tech firms and persistent regulatory and execution challenges. The stock may best suit investors comfortable with operational turnarounds and volatility, as the company lacks a dividend, making it less suitable for income-focused portfolios.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
IART receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by weak unit economics, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
IART has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with moderate financial health, soft growth momentum, and strong ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, growth and ownership metrics are mixed: negative earnings growth (-7337.7%), weak cash generation (FCF margin -2.8%), moderate revenue growth (+1.5%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
IART's financial health is supported by moderate liquidity, including working-capital and asset support (WC/assets 19.5%). Cash strength is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Revenue growth is IART's strongest growth driver at +1.5% FY2025 versus FY2024 (moderate, 3 stars). By comparison, while earnings growth (-7337.7%, negative) and free-cash-flow growth (-281.3%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 98.4% and approximately 75.4% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 14.39% supports management-shareholder alignment.

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
IART generates approximately $517 of gross profit, $42 of operating income, and $-28 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Negative free cash flow explains the 1-star rating, with weak cash conversion and weak capital efficiency.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 8.35%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
