Citi cuts Phreesia stock price target to $33 from $35, keeps Buy rating

On Wednesday, Citi analyst Daniel Grosslight adjusted the price target for Phreesia Inc . (NYSE:PHR) stock, reducing it to $33.00 from the previous $35.00 while maintaining a Buy rating on the shares. Currently trading at $23.83, the stock appears undervalued according to InvestingPro analysis, with analyst targets ranging from $28 to $35. Grosslight’s analysis followed Phreesia’s recent financial results, which he described as fundamentally solid, despite some areas performing below expectations.

Phreesia’s Network Solutions segment experienced slower growth than anticipated, posting a 15.5% year-over-year increase but a 5% quarter-over-quarter decline. However, this was largely compensated by stronger performance in Subscription and Payments revenue. The company’s overall revenue growth remains robust at 17.8% over the last twelve months, with a impressive five-year CAGR of 27%. Grosslight highlighted that Phreesia’s revenue from providers is benefiting from upselling subscription modules and acquiring larger clients with higher volumes of monetizable activities. An additional $1 million in one-time services revenue also contributed to the subscription revenue boost.

The company’s overall revenue grew by 14.5%, which was in line with both Citi’s and consensus expectations. Annual Healthcare Service (NASDAQ:HCSG) Checks (AHSCs) increased by 8.5% year-over-year, matching predictions, while provider revenue per AHSC saw a 5.2% growth, exceeding expectations by 3%. Notably, Phreesia’s adjusted EBITDA surpassed estimates by $3 million to $4 million, attributed to SG&A efficiencies that balanced out lower-than-expected payments gross margins, which included a one-time interchange fee of approximately $170,000, and increased R&D expenses.

Phreesia maintained its revenue guidance for FY26, projecting a growth of 12%-15%. Additionally, the company raised its adjusted EBITDA guidance from the previous range of $78 million to $88 million to a new range of $85 million to $90 million, marking an increase of $4.5 million at the midpoint. This upward adjustment in EBITDA guidance reflects Phreesia’s confidence in its financial trajectory and operational efficiencies. InvestingPro analysis shows the company maintains a "GOOD" overall financial health score, with particularly strong marks in growth and cash flow metrics.
