This Billion-Dollar Company Lost 40% Of Its Value, This Is What Wall Street Is Saying

  • Yesterday after the market close, Health Catalyst Inc (NASDAQ: HCAT) reported Q2 earnings. Shares have dropped over 30% after the news.

  • SVB Leerink notes a mild Q2 beat on Tech outperformance and FY22 guidance lowered on macro headwinds.

  • The company reported Q2 sales of $70.3 million, 18.5% Y/Y, which slightly beat the estimates of $69.87 million.

  • FY22 guidance was cut by ~$17 million at the midpoint, with management pointing to the challenging macro environment and its impact on hospital clients and bookings.

  • Health Catalyst forecasts Q3 revenue of $65.3-$68.3 million vs. the consensus of $74.61 million and an adjusted EBITDA loss of $(6)-$(4) million.

  • FY22 revenues are expected to be $271.5-$275.5 million vs. the Wall Street consensus of $290.98 million.

  • Separately, HCAT announced a $40 million share repurchase program (representing 2M shares/4% of shares outstanding at the current share price), following in the recent footsteps of other high-growth health tech peers e.g., DOCS, OPRX, etc.
