Kestra Medical Technologies priced an upsized underwritten public offering of 6 million common shares at $23.00 per share on December 2, 2025, raising gross proceeds of $138 million. The offering closed on December 4, 2025, after the company granted underwriters a 30‑day option to purchase an additional 900,000 shares at the public price.
The 6 million‑share sale represents a 20 % increase over the original 5 million‑share offering, reflecting strong investor demand. The 30‑day option for an extra 900,000 shares provides flexibility for the underwriters to meet any remaining demand at the same price, ensuring the company can fully capitalize on the market’s appetite for its wearable cardioverter‑defibrillator (WCD) platform.
Kestra plans to deploy the proceeds across several growth levers: expanding sales and marketing to accelerate commercial adoption of its ASSURE® WCD, investing in research and development to enhance device capabilities, and bolstering working capital to support ongoing commercialization. The company’s Q1 FY2026 revenue rose 52 % to $19.4 million, while a net loss of $0.5 per share underscored the need for additional capital to sustain its expansion trajectory.
Market reaction to the announcement was muted; the stock closed flat on the day of pricing, reflecting investor focus on the company’s continued net losses and the broader challenge of translating revenue growth into profitability. Analysts noted that while the capital raise strengthens Kestra’s balance sheet, the path to profitability remains uncertain without a clear timeline for cost reductions and revenue scaling.
Management emphasized that the capital infusion will accelerate the commercialization of the ASSURE® system, which has already secured FDA pre‑market approval and is gaining traction in high‑risk patient populations. CEO Brian Webster highlighted the company’s “strong commercial momentum” and reiterated confidence in the long‑term value of its WCD platform, while acknowledging the need for disciplined cost management to achieve profitability.
The WCD market is projected to reach $1.3 billion in 2023, and Kestra’s focus on a digital health ecosystem positions it to capture a growing share of patients who require non‑invasive arrhythmia monitoring. The upsized offering signals investor confidence in the company’s strategy, but also underscores the importance of demonstrating sustained revenue growth and margin improvement in the coming quarters.
