Doximity Inc. shares fell 3.27% as the stock hit a 52-week low amid concerns over its future performance.
The recent tightening of Medicare policies, effective January 31, significantly reduces reimbursement for telehealth services, impacting Doximity's business. Despite remaining profitable, the company's revenue growth has slowed and failed to meet market expectations, leading to investor pessimism. This situation is compounded by the fact that 80% of U.S. physicians are already on the platform, limiting expansion opportunities.
The implications of these developments suggest that Doximity may face continued pressure on its stock price as investors reassess the company's growth prospects in light of the changing healthcare landscape.
