I believe that investors will soon take advantage of the value in-store, and I’m thus bullish on the stock going into 2022. However, key metrics indicate that smart business decisions have created a value gap. It’s been a topsy-turvy year for TDOC stock. TDOC stock is undervalued, and its momentum could soon change for the better. TDOC stock’s RSI of 29.9 indicates it’s oversold, as it trades below the 30 benchmark. This is conveyed through the Relative Strength Index (RSI). As mentioned, Teladoc stock has faced downward pressure for a variety of reasons, and among those is its acquisition spree. We can look at this statistic out of isolation by analyzing momentum metrics. The stock is undervalued by about 83% relative to its book value. I think top-line and cost synergies will soon pay off, in turn providing substance to the firm’s balance sheet value.
Teladoc made a significant number of acquisitions during 2020. Teladoc is an acquisition vehicle, meaning its stock price is likely to trade below net asset value during aggressive capital allocation periods. I usually analyze growth stocks based on their P/S ratios, as the metric can be used during any phase of a company’s lifecycle.Īnother key metric to look at here is the stock’s price-to-book (P/B) ratio. TDOC stock is undervalued by about 40 % based on its price-to-sales (P/S) ratio. In my opinion, positively-skewed investor optimism could be the result of the continued exponential growth in Teladoc’s fee-based business due to improved risk-return dynamics. T hese elements combined have contributed to the 37% year-over-year (YOY) rise in total visits.įurthermore, Teladoc’s fee-based business has picked up to add sustainability to the firm’s top-line, with revenue from access fees and visit fees increasing by 1.99x YOY and 0.85x YOY, respectively. In addition, the firm was ranked as number one in consumer satisfaction by J.C. Teladoc’s Health360 has benefitted from binding agreements with CVS (NYSE: CVS) and Centene (NYSE: CNC) to add to customers’ health engagement and primary care experience. Teladoc unexpectedly beat its third-quarter earnings estimates with a revenue outperformance of $4.87 million and an earnings-per-share (EPS) wallop of 12 cents per share. Q3 Earnings Beat Changes Valuation Dynamics It’s evident that the omicron variant isn’t being taken lightly by the U.S., and Teladoc’s newly-added subsidiary could gain additional traction during this period. In July 2020, the company acquired InTouch Health in an attempt to expand its home medical care portfolio. Teladoc has been expanding on this category of its business during the early stages of the pandemic. Furthermore, a rise in omicron variant cases of Covid-19 could increase the need for the company’s stay-at-home medical care segment’s products.

With the flu season in full effect, I think we’re headed for a period of rising demand for modern medical care solutions.
In that setting, TDOC stock is set to benefit. Such an early exit from the competition is not the best sign of progress, particularly as the result against visitors who are third-bottom of the Under-18 Premier League’s northern division was far from an isolated incident.I’m unsure whether tech stocks will recover anytime soon, but I’m confident telehealth plays won’t be as bound to systemic headwinds as other technology assets. First-team head coach Dean Smith, his assistant Craig Shakespeare and sporting director Stuart Webber – as well as Chelsea loanee Billy Gilmour – were in the directors’ box to watch the youngsters against Stoke. “It’s the one game of the season that you want to win,” said Norwich’s head of football development Steve Weaver ahead of the same stage of the competition 12 months ago.

For a club determined to make their academy produce professional footballers for their first team as well as the wider game - as well as a revenue stream - the Youth Cup has often been a proving ground for Norwich. A 2-0 lead inside the first 15 minutes had turned into a 3-2 deficit to Stoke City by half-time and that scoreline stuck to full-time, ending Norwich’s interest in a competition they have won twice and as recently as 2013. There was little hiding from the topsy-turvy nature of their FA Youth Cup third-round exit last Wednesday. It was a shattering night for a Norwich City Under-18 side who had been looking good for something much more uplifting. As the final whistle blew at Carrow Road, every player sank to the floor.
