COCONUT GROVE, Fla. - NextPlat Corp (NASDAQ:NXPL), a $19.32 million market cap company that has seen a notable 7.64% gain over the past week, on Monday detailed its strategic direction under interim CEO David Phipps following the unexpected death of former CEO and Chairman Charles Fernandez. According to InvestingPro analysis, the company appears undervalued at current levels, presenting a potential opportunity for investors.
In a shareholder letter, Phipps outlined plans to focus on the company’s healthcare division, which currently represents the largest segment of NextPlat’s business. With revenue growing at 19.36% over the last twelve months, the company intends to streamline healthcare operations while expanding contracted 340B and long-term care services, though InvestingPro data indicates the company faces challenges with its 23.72% gross profit margins.
Strategic initiatives for the healthcare segment include adding experienced leadership, expanding into high-margin services, implementing technology improvements, and pursuing specialty medication accreditation. The company also plans to target non-insured sales markets and evaluate opportunities for nationwide licensing to enable e-commerce mail-order sales.
For its smaller e-commerce division, NextPlat aims to grow through opportunistic acquisitions, launching new international marketplaces, and expanding its partnership with OPKO Health (NASDAQ:OPK) for sales into China. The company noted that recent tariffs between the U.S. and China have delayed some product launches, including its Florida Sunshine vitamin brand.
Phipps also committed to accelerating efficiency efforts across the organization with the goal of generating positive operating results, investing in operations and personnel, implementing a previously announced stock buyback program, and improving shareholder engagement.
NextPlat operates an e-commerce communications division offering voice, data, tracking, and IoT products globally, alongside pharmacy and healthcare data management services in the United States through its subsidiary, Progressive Care.
The information was provided in a company press release statement.
In other recent news, NextLabs Corp reported a significant decline in revenue for the first quarter of 2025, totaling $14.5 million, a drop from $17.5 million in the same period last year. This downturn was accompanied by an earnings per share of -$0.05, missing market expectations and reflecting challenges in its healthcare segment. On a positive note, the company’s e-commerce segment showed growth, with a 51% increase in recurring airtime revenue, attributed to IoT sales and the Alphyser acquisition. Meanwhile, NextPlat Corp announced a leadership change with David Phipps appointed as Interim CEO following the passing of Charles M. Fernandez, the previous Executive Chairman and CEO. Phipps, who has a long history with the company, assumes this role with no changes to his existing employment agreement. Additionally, NextLabs is exploring strategic options, including potential sales or mergers, to navigate its current market challenges. The company aims to achieve a cash-neutral position by 2026, although tariff issues and a decline in healthcare revenue present ongoing challenges.
