William Blair analyst Adam Klauber has maintained their neutral stance on EHTH stock, giving a Hold rating today.
Adam Klauber has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors that reflect both positive developments and cautious outlooks for Ehealth. The company has demonstrated significant improvement in its unit economics, particularly in the Medicare segment, with a notable increase in revenue and adjusted EBITDA. This growth was driven by strong enrollment figures and improved efficiency in customer acquisition costs. However, despite these positive trends, the future revenue projections are modest, with expected growth of only 2% in 2025.
The cautious revenue outlook is influenced by potential challenges such as a return to normalized shopping levels and regulatory changes affecting plan switching. Additionally, while Ehealth is making strategic investments in member retention and diversifying its revenue streams, the adjusted EBITDA guidance indicates a decrease compared to previous years. Although the company is on track to achieve breakeven operating cash flow by 2025, Klauber suggests that a more substantial positive shift is needed before considering a more favorable rating.
