Premarket activity appears to be heating up for a handful of securities as we head into the final minutes before the opening bell on Tuesday. One stock in particular, a California-based healthcare company, caught our eye after seeing a strong bid following yesterday’s aftermarket earnings release.
A few high level highlights from the release are as follows for the three months ended December 31, 2021:
- Total revenue was $6.6 million, an increase of 45% compared to $4.5 million.
- Dollar-based Net Revenue Retention was 135% for our Health Enterprise customers compared to 122% in the third quarter of 2021.
- GAAP Gross Margin increased 50 basis points to 44.7% compared to 44.2%.
