Alphatec (ATEC) Jumps 9.5% on Bargain-Hunting After 2-Month Low

We recently published 10 Stock With Eye-Popping Gains; 5 Are on Fresh Highs. Alphatec Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:ATEC) was one of the top performers on Thursday.

Alphatec Holdings snapped a four-day losing streak on Thursday, jumping 9.47 percent to close at $17.46 apiece as investors resorted to bargain-hunting after falling to a two-month low while digesting the preliminary results of its earnings performance last year.

Earlier this week, Alphatec Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:ATEC) said that it is expecting to report total revenues between $763.4 million and $764.4 million for full-year 2025, or an implied growth of 25 percent and higher than its previous guidance of $760 million.

The bulk of the revenues—amounting to $686.3 million to $687 million—is expected to come from surgical revenues, while the remaining $77.1 million to $77.4 million would come from EOS revenues.

“We are achieving results at scale that have not been seen in our industry. This shared success is no accident; we have amassed an unparalleled collection of spine know-how and clinical curiosity, and are relentlessly driven to improve surgery through a disciplined focus on procedural ecosystems, supported by data and informatics. We have many growth catalysts ahead, and with a scalable infrastructure already in place, ATEC is positioned to shape the future of spine care for years to come,” said Alphatec Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:ATEC) Chairman and CEO Pat Miles.

For 2026, the company is gunning for revenues of $890 million, or an implied growth of 17 percent from 2025. The outlook includes its target of $805 million from surgical revenues and approximately $85 million from EOS.
