Growth to Continue in Q4
WELL Health chairman and CEO Hamed Shahbazi said, “We had an outstanding quarter mainly as a result of the growing success of our practitioner enablement platform and strong financial performance from our recent acquisitions. In the third quarter we also achieved adjusted gross profit of C$50.0 million which was almost 10 times the adjusted gross profit as compared to the same period last year. Our adjusted gross margin percentage increased to over 50% for the first time, and we have now accomplished four consecutive quarters of positive Adjusted EBITDA, which has experienced significant growth throughout the year.”
WELL expects to continue growing in the fourth quarter through healthy organic growth in its two business lines, Omnichannel patient services, and Virtual services. The company expects to end the year with annualized revenue approaching C$450 million, and operating adjusted EBITDA of approximately C$100 million.
Wall Street’s Take
Two weeks ago, Stifel Nicolaus analyst Justin Keywood maintained a Buy rating on WELL with a price target of C$13.50. This implies 101.5% upside potential.
Keywood stated, “The pandemic has accelerated the use of technology in healthcare, which WELL seeks to capitalize on. WELL acquires healthcare assets and digitizes operations and cross-sells other acquired technologies. WELL has created a unique and diversified healthcare eco-system, and we now expect a greater focus on driving revenue synergies and organic growth, along with attention to FCF.”
Overall, WELL stock scores a Strong Buy consensus rating based on five Buys. The average WELL Health price target of C$12.59 implies 87.9% upside potential to current levels.
