Sight Sciences: Balancing Resilience and Caution Amid Tariff Challenges

Needham analyst David Saxon has maintained their neutral stance on SGHT stock, giving a Hold rating today.

David Saxon has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors. Sight Sciences has shown resilience in the post-LCD MIGS market, surpassing expectations with its revenue performance in the first quarter of 2025. The company has also maintained its revenue guidance for 2025, which is a positive indicator of its financial health.
However, there are challenges that temper the outlook. The anticipated impact of tariffs, estimated to be around $4 million, poses a financial obstacle. Although the company is taking steps to mitigate this by shifting manufacturing out of China over the next several months, the transition period presents uncertainties. These mixed signals justify the decision to maintain a Hold rating, reflecting both optimism about the company’s strategic moves and caution due to external economic pressures.

According to TipRanks, Saxon is an analyst with an average return of -2.3% and a 34.03% success rate. Saxon covers the Healthcare sector, focusing on stocks such as DENTSPLY SIRONA, RxSight, and ZimVie Inc.
