It is steady, capital-intensive, and deeply embedded in customers’ supply chains, and that’s part of why a new 4.5% position in a name down nearly 38% over the past year might deserve some attention.Integer just delivered 8% full-year sales growth to $1.85 billion and 21% adjusted EPS growth to $6.40. Adjusted EBITDA reached $402 million, up 12% year over year, and the company also generated $196 million in operating cash flow for 2025.Debt remains meaningful at roughly $1.19 billion net, or about 3.0 times adjusted EBITDA, but management is guiding to leverage between 2.5 and 3.5 times in 2026. Sales guidance for 2026 implies flat to slightly down GAAP revenue, but adjusted earnings are expected to hold up.Compared with biotech-heavy top holdings, this is a different kind of risk. It is less binary and more operational. Long-term investors should focus on organic growth, margin expansion, and deleveraging. If execution holds, a beaten-down CDMO with durable customer relationships can compound quietly.About the AuthorJonathan Ponciano is a contributing stock market analyst at The Motley Fool.
