GoodRx reported revenue of $203.1 million and adjusted EBITDA of $69.4 million for the second quarter of 2025, which was largely in line with analyst expectations. The company maintains impressive gross profit margins of 94% and a strong current ratio of 4.2, indicating solid financial health.

The company cut its full-year guidance, citing pressure from Rite Aid (NYSE:US90274J5618=UBSS) store closures and actions from pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) around their insurance savings program business, which are expected to impact revenue by $35-40 million this year.

GoodRx lowered its 2025 revenue guidance to show only an increase from 2024’s $795 million, down from the previous guidance of $810-840 million. The company also reduced its EBITDA guidance to $265-275 million from $273-287 million.

The stock fell 20% on Thursday following the announcement, with Raymond James noting investor frustration over multiple guidance cuts since the company’s analyst day in May 2024. Technical indicators from InvestingPro suggest the stock is now in oversold territory, trading near its 52-week low of $3.31.
