PRCT Plummets 9.88%: A Surge in Revenue or a Warning Signal?

Summary
• PROCEPT BioRobotics (PRCT) plunges 9.88% intraday to $31.56, erasing $3.46 from its value.
• Q3 revenue surges 43% to $83.3M, driven by U.S. handpiece/consumables growth (+50%) and system sales (+26%).
• Net loss widens to $21.4M, with adjusted EBITDA loss at $7.4M, despite cash reserves of $297.3M.

PROCEPT BioRobotics’ stock has swung wildly on Nov. 5, 2025, as investors grapple with a stark contrast between robust revenue growth and persistent operating losses. The stock’s intraday range—from $35.315 to $31.205—underscores the market’s skepticism toward the company’s path to profitability, even as it reaffirms 2026 revenue guidance of $410–$430M.

Strong Revenue Growth Contrasted by Persistent Operating Losses
PROCEPT BioRobotics’ 9.88% intraday decline reflects investor unease over its financial health despite a 43% year-over-year revenue surge. While U.S. handpiece and consumables revenue rose 50% to $44.4M and system sales grew 26% to $24.7M, operating expenses ballooned to $77.2M—up 30% from $59.3M in the prior year. The net loss of $21.4M and adjusted EBITDA loss of $7.4M, coupled with CEO Larry Wood’s admission of a ‘modest’ Q4 tariff headwind, have eroded confidence. Investors are questioning whether the company’s aggressive spending on commercial expansion and R&D can justify its $31.56 price, which is 57.1% below its 52-week high of $103.81.

Options Playbook: Capitalizing on Volatility and Liquidity
• 200-day average: $52.38 (far above current price)
• RSI: 56.16 (neutral, but trending lower)
• MACD: -0.4634 (bearish) vs. signal line -0.6614
• Bollinger Bands: $32.46 (lower band) vs. current $31.56 (oversold territory)

PRCT’s technicals suggest a short-term bearish bias, with key support at $31.20 (52-week low) and resistance at $35.31 (intraday high). The stock’s 56.16 RSI and bearish MACD histogram indicate momentum is shifting against bulls. For traders, the most liquid options are the PRCT20251121P32.5 (put) and PRCT20251121C35 (call), which offer high leverage and moderate delta for directional bets.

Top Option 1: PRCT20251121P32.5
• Contract Code: PRCT20251121P32.5
• Type: Put
• Strike Price: $32.50
• Expiration: Nov 21, 2025
• IV: 62.48% (moderate)
• Leverage Ratio: 14.34% (high)
• Delta: -0.555 (sensitive to price drops)
• Theta: -0.0019 (minimal time decay)
• Gamma: 0.0929 (high sensitivity to price swings)
• Turnover: 45,335 (liquid)

This put option is ideal for a bearish trade, as its high gamma and leverage ratio amplify gains if PRCT breaks below $31.20. A 5% downside to $29.98 would yield a payoff of $2.52 per contract, translating to a 73% return on the $3.45 premium.

Top Option 2: PRCT20251121C35
• Contract Code: PRCT20251121C35
• Type: Call
• Strike Price: $35.00
• Expiration: Nov 21, 2025
• IV: 62.90% (moderate)
• Leverage Ratio: 53.47% (very high)
• Delta: 0.247 (moderate sensitivity)
• Theta: -0.0572 (moderate time decay)
• Gamma: 0.0738 (moderate sensitivity)
• Turnover: 2,994 (liquid)

This call option suits aggressive bulls betting on a rebound above $35.31. A 5% upside to $33.14 would result in a $0.14 payoff, a 40% return on the $0.35 premium. However, its low delta means it requires a stronger move to profit.

Trading Hook: If PRCT breaks below $31.20, PRCT20251121P32.5 offers a high-leverage bearish play. Aggressive bulls may consider PRCT20251121C35 into a bounce above $35.31.

PRCT’s Crossroads: Profitability or Peril?
PROCEPT BioRobotics’ 9.88% drop signals a critical inflection point for investors. While Q3 revenue growth validates its market traction, the widening operating losses and elevated leverage ratios in its options chain highlight the stock’s precarious balance between optimism and skepticism. The medical devices sector, led by Medtronic (MDT) down 0.88%, remains cautiously watchful. For PRCT, the path forward hinges on whether its 2026 revenue guidance of $410–$430M can translate into narrowing EBITDA losses. Traders should monitor the $31.20 support level and the $35.31 intraday high for directional clues. Action: Watch for a breakdown below $31.20 or a rebound above $35.31 to dictate next steps.
