WAY Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Waystar Holding Corp demonstrates a robust growth trajectory, having achieved a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16% since 2022, significantly driven by an anticipated revenue increase stemming from the Change Healthcare cyberattack's aftermath. The company has also reported a notable 11.9% revenue growth, with subscription-based revenue climbing by 13.9% and volume-based revenue rising by 9.7%, further underscoring the strength of its enterprise-grade platform. Additionally, Waystar's high-value customers have shown a quarter-over-quarter growth rate of 3.4% in Q1 2025, indicating a solid and expanding client base that bolsters the company's positive market position.
Bears say
Waystar Holding Corp's negative outlook is underscored by a notable decline in capital expenditures as a percentage of revenue, dropping from 2.9% in 2024 and 2.7% in 2023 to 2.1% in the first half of the current year, which signals a potential reduction in investment in growth. The company anticipates a sequential decrease in revenue for the third quarter with expectations of fourth quarter revenue being flat compared to third quarter results, reflecting a stagnation in financial performance. Furthermore, the fallout from a cyberattack, exemplified by the 1% revenue decline in OptumInsight's results, poses significant risks to client retention and growth potential, indicating vulnerabilities that could further hinder Waystar's market position.
