Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

The earnings-guidance miss and explicit carryover of ventilator sales suspensions suggest near-term revenue and margin pressure. Historical defaults to similar misses in medtech often trigger multiple compression and volatility until clearer visibility on product recovery or cost controls emerges. The 6% intraday drop implies material investor concern.
