Kestra Medical Technologies (KMTS) fell 9.60% to $21.75 in early trading on September 15, 2026, following a mixed earnings report and pre-market insider sales. The stock opened with a 9.9% gap down from the previous close of $24.06 and has traded in a narrow range since. The move reflects investor concerns over the company's continued losses and recent selling by directors.

What Happened

Kestra Medical reported first-quarter FY 2027 results that showed a GAAP loss per share of $0.75, missing the consensus estimate of $0.62. Revenue of $31 million exceeded expectations by $1.99 million and rose 59.8% year-over-year. The company raised its full-year 2027 revenue guidance to $141 million from $137 million, while maintaining a target of mid-70% gross margins. Despite these updates, the stock fell sharply in pre-market trading. The Fly reported that Kestra’s shares were down 7% at $22.32 after the earnings miss.

On September 8, three directors, Hanley Conor, Schwartz Jeffrey Lawrence, and Reilly Kevin C, sold shares in the company. The Fly also noted that Kestra’s stock was down 7% in pre-market trading, and Benzinga highlighted the stock as one of several big movers in the session.
