Staar Surgical's stock soared 5.24% intraday on Friday, continuing its positive momentum from the previous session.
The surge follows the company's release of a preliminary earnings report after the market close on April 8, which indicated first-quarter 2026 net sales are expected to exceed $90 million, more than doubling the sales from the same period last year and significantly beating analyst estimates. This guidance confirms the company's turnaround from a challenging 2025.
Key drivers include the completion of inventory destocking in the Chinese market, allowing shipments to resume, the launch of the next-generation EVO+ ICL (V5) in China, and an FDA age extension for its EVO ICL in the U.S. market, expanding the potential patient pool. Additionally, short covering may have amplified the price movement.
