Q4 miss on both lines drives 10% premarket drop

Watch: Listen for management's explanation of the revenue shortfall and any revised 2026 guidance on the earnings call. Watch whether the company flags macro headwinds in elective vision correction or company-specific issues.

Staar Surgical Co reported Q4 results that fell short on both earnings and revenue. The company posted a loss of $0.13 per share against analyst expectations of a $0.06 profit. Revenue came in at $57.8 million, missing the $75.4 million consensus by 23%. Shares dropped 10.2% to $16.99 in premarket trading Wednesday.

The dual miss signals operational challenges and weaker-than-expected demand for Staar's implantable lenses. A 23% revenue shortfall isn't a rounding error — it suggests either deteriorating market conditions or execution issues that management will need to explain.
