Teladoc
$TDOC has certainly fallen from its pandemic-driven, sky-high valuation. The company is trading for roughly 1/3 its peak market cap. Although the company remains unprofitable, I have been averaging down slowly.
I think the concern over revenue growth is unwarranted. Company's do not grow at 80%+ forever. Teladoc no doubt got a boost from the pandemic, but I feel that Management's guidance of 25%-30% growth this year is still impressive.
My main concern revolves around cash flow. If
$TDOC can continue trimming its losses, then I think it will gain more favor across Wall Street over time. The company is crushing its competition, namely
$TLMD and
$AMWL. Frankly, I view Teladoc's real competition as better capitalized tech companies that could enter healthcare if they wanted (
$AMZN $GOOG)
Interestingly, Amazon has partnered with Teladoc, integrating its technology with Alexa. From an outside perspective, this looks like a vote of confidence from Amazon, but I don't want to lean on this partnership too heavily just yet.
Overall I think Teladoc has a lot of tailwinds that could propel future growth. I'll be keeping an eye on profitability and investing/selling as I assess future earnings.
Let me know what you think!
