Adjusted EBITDA amounted to $23.2 million, or $0.47 per share, compared to $56.8 million, or $1.15 per share a year ago.

According to 10 analysts’ estimates, STAAR Surgical stock is a “Hold” with a price target of $25.29. The average price target suggests a 56.66% potential upside from the latest price.
