Financial Health Signals
Based on FY2025 annual data. Scores normalized against common benchmarks. How we calculate these scores
Healthstream has an operating margin of 6.7%, meaning the company retains $7 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This results in a moderate score of 37/100, indicating healthy but not exceptional operating efficiency. This is down from 7.3% the prior year.
Healthstream's revenue grew a modest 4.3% year-over-year to $304.1M. This slow but positive growth earns a score of 40/100.
Healthstream carries a low D/E ratio of 0.47, meaning only $0.47 of long-term debt for every $1 of shareholders' equity. This conservative leverage earns a score of 92/100, indicating a strong balance sheet with room for future borrowing.
Healthstream's current ratio of 0.96 means current assets barely cover short-term liabilities. This tight liquidity results in a low score of 14/100, which could limit financial flexibility.
Healthstream converts 19.6% of revenue into free cash flow ($59.6M). This strong cash generation earns a score of 74/100.
Healthstream generates a 5.2% ROE, indicating limited profit relative to shareholders' investment. This results in a returns score of 23/100. This is down from 5.6% the prior year.
Healthstream scores 3.19, well above the 2.99 safe threshold. The score is driven primarily by a large market capitalization ($598.9M) relative to total liabilities ($166.4M). This indicates low bankruptcy risk based on profitability, leverage, and asset efficiency.
Healthstream passes 5 of 9 financial strength tests. 3 of 4 profitability signals pass, 1 of 3 leverage/liquidity signals pass, 1 of 2 efficiency signals pass.
For every $1 of reported earnings, Healthstream generates $3.45 in operating cash flow ($63.3M OCF vs $18.3M net income). This indicates profits are well-supported by actual cash generation, not accounting adjustments.
