Polarean Imaging (LSE:POLX) has released its interim results for the first half of 2025, reporting a challenging market environment due to reductions in NIH grant funding and Medicaid cuts under the US One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Despite these headwinds, the company achieved a 36% increase in consumable sales, though no Xenon MRI systems were sold during the period.
The company has expanded its FDA approvals and strategic partnerships, including a collaboration with Philips and a distribution agreement in Taiwan, which are expected to enhance market presence. However, ongoing market uncertainties have led Polarean to lower its revenue guidance for 2025, while maintaining optimism for resuming sales growth in 2026.
Polarean’s outlook is constrained by challenging financial performance and bearish technical indicators. Negative valuation metrics further weigh on the stock, and although recent corporate developments are positive, they are insufficient to fully offset financial and market pressures.
