Teladoc Health

When talking about the advancement of technology in the health care sector, Teladoc is a name that often comes to mind. And Cathie Wood seems to agree, judging how its Ark Investment has been snapping up TDOC stock. This comes as no surprise seeing that the company’s plethora of telehealth services remain a vital service during the pandemic. The global leader in telehealth medicine reported its first-quarter financials on April 28. In it, it raised full-year guidance as first-quarter revenue came in 151% higher year-over-year to a record $453.7 million.

Source: TD Ameritrade TOS

One reason why investors are bullish is that Teladoc is slowly creating cheaper remote alternatives to healthcare to the inconvenient, inefficient health care system we have today. Also, consulting firm McKinsey & Company projects that the U.S. virtual care market could approach $250 billion annually after the pandemic is over. With that kind of projection, you could say that Teladoc has a lot of untapped potential indeed. Considering the recent dips, would you be picking up TDOC stock on the cheap?
