Inspire Medical Systems, Inc. (INSP) Securities Class Action:

The case, styled City of Pontiac Reestablished General Employees' Retirement System v. Inspire Medical Systems, Inc., et al., No. 0:25-cv-04247-PJS-ECW (D. Minn.), seeks to represent investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Inspire common stock between August 6, 2024 and August 4, 2025.

The complaint asserts that throughout the Class Period, Inspire repeatedly assured investors it had met all regulatory, technical, and commercial prerequisites for the Inspire V launch, while also touting high demand and a successful commercial proceeding.

However, the lawsuit claims the reality was starkly different and undisclosed to investors. The complaint alleges the Inspire V launch was, in fact, a disaster, crippled by minimal initial demand. This weak uptake, according to the suit, was due to the company's customers already being flush with inventory of older, unsold Inspire IV devices. Furthermore, the complaint suggests Inspire had allegedly neglected basic steps necessary to ensure the new device's swift adoption by clinicians and payors.

Investors allegedly learned the truth on August 4, 2025. That day, Inspire revealed that the Inspire V launch faced an "elongated timeframe" due to previously undisclosed headwinds.

Inspire explained that "many centers did not complete the training, contracting and onboarding criteria required prior to the purchase and implant of Inspire V."

The company also said that, although Inspire V's CPT code was approved for Medicare patients, "software updates for claims submissions and processing did not take effect until July 1."  This meant that implanting centers could not bill for those procedures until July 1 and, as a result, many centers opted to continue treating patients with the older generation Inspire IV.

Inspire further explained that demand for Inspire V was plagued by customers' need to "burn down" Inspire IV inventory, a headwind that would continue to negatively impact demand for Inspire V.

Lastly, as a result the disastrous launch, Inspire slashed its 2025 earnings guidance by a whopping 80% to just $0.40 to $0.50 per share.

The news sent Inspire shares crashing $42.04 the next day, a decline of roughly 32%.

"We're focused on investors' losses and whether Inspire may have intentionally misled investors about headwinds adversely affecting the next generation launch and the dramatic negative effect on the company's earnings potential," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the firm's investigation.
