DA Davidson reiterates Buy on Phreesia stock, $36 target

On Thursday, DA Davidson maintained a positive outlook on Phreesia Inc . (NYSE:PHR) shares, reiterating a Buy rating and a $36.00 price target. The endorsement follows Phreesia’s fourth-quarter fiscal year 2025 results, which aligned with the firm’s expectations in terms of business conditions, fiscal year 2026 guidance, and key performance indicators (KPIs) related to profitability. According to InvestingPro data, the company has demonstrated strong revenue growth of 19.91% over the last twelve months, with 8 analysts recently revising their earnings expectations upward for the upcoming period.

Phreesia’s approach to adding value within the U.S. healthcare services sector was highlighted as a key factor in DA Davidson’s continued support. The analyst firm believes that Phreesia’s stock is currently undervalued, noting that it trades at a bottom quartile EBITDA valuation of 19 times, despite fundamentals that suggest a valuation closer to the peer median of 24 times. This assessment aligns with InvestingPro’s Fair Value analysis, which indicates the stock is currently undervalued, while maintaining a healthy gross profit margin of 67.14%.

The analyst’s comments underscored Phreesia’s consistent performance and the potential for significant improvement in profits. Phreesia’s strategy, which focuses on a three-way approach to creating value, was particularly praised for its effectiveness in the niche market of U.S. healthcare services. InvestingPro analysis reveals the company maintains a strong current ratio of 1.74 and operates with a moderate debt level, suggesting financial stability despite current non-profitability.

DA Davidson’s reaffirmation of the Buy rating indicates confidence in Phreesia’s business model and future prospects. The firm’s assessment suggests that Phreesia’s shares present an attractive opportunity for investors, with the current valuation being lower than what DA Davidson considers reflective of the company’s true worth.

The price target of $36.00 set by DA Davidson implies a level of performance and growth that Phreesia is expected to achieve. This target is based on the firm’s analysis of Phreesia’s financials and market position, reinforcing the belief that the company’s stock has the potential to reach a higher valuation in line with its peers.
