- Lawsuit Initiation: Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP has filed a class action against Inspire Medical Systems and its executives for securities fraud following a significant stock drop, with investors encouraged to apply to lead the case by January 5, 2026.
- Stock Price Plunge: On August 4, 2025, Inspire disclosed an elongated launch timeframe for its Inspire V device and reduced its 2025 earnings per share guidance by over 80%, resulting in a stock price drop from $129.95 to $87.91, a decline of more than 32%.
- Product Launch Issues: Inspire failed to adequately prepare clinicians and payors for the rollout of Inspire V, leading to weak market demand as customers were left with excess inventory of older devices, which adversely affected the adoption of the new product.
- Legal Consequences: This lawsuit could have significant financial implications for Inspire, as a potential loss may result in substantial damages, further undermining investor confidence and impacting future financing capabilities.

Wolfe Research upgraded Inspire Medical to Outperform from Peer Perform with an $180 price target. The firm says the "surprise" 50% Medicare reimbursement raise "pumps oxygen" into the stock's bull case. Inspire has already de-risked 2026 estimates, its 2025 "launch snafus" are nearly behind the company and it has "long list of potential acquirers," the analyst tells investors in a research note. Paying revenue-times estimated 2026 revenue, which the price target represents, it "not crazy" for a SMID-cap medical technology stock, contends Wolfe. Inspire Medical shares in premarket trading are up $1.71 to $119.00.
