Company Overview

Founded in 2010 and named for a combination of “docs” and “proximity”, Doximity (NYSE: DOCS) is the leading social network for U.S. medical professionals.

Healthcare And Life Sciences Software

The coronavirus pandemic has underscored the importance of high-quality health infrastructure in times of crisis. Coupled with intense competition between drugmakers and the growing volume of data in the health care sector, demand for data management solutions in the healthcare space is expected to remain strong in the years ahead.

Sales Growth

Reviewing a company’s long-term performance can reveal insights into its business quality. Any business can have short-term success, but a top-tier one sustains growth for years. Luckily, Doximity’s sales grew at a decent 23% compounded annual growth rate over the last three years. This is a useful starting point for our analysis.

This quarter, Doximity reported robust year-on-year revenue growth of 20.4%, and its $136.8 million of revenue topped Wall Street estimates by 7.6%. Management is currently guiding for a 12.7% year-on-year increase next quarter.

Looking further ahead, sell-side analysts expect revenue to grow 4.5% over the next 12 months, a deceleration versus the last three years. This projection is underwhelming and illustrates the market believes its products and services will see some demand headwinds. At least the company is tracking well in other measures of financial health.

Customer Acquisition Efficiency

The customer acquisition cost (CAC) payback period measures the months a company needs to recoup the money spent on acquiring a new customer. This metric helps assess how quickly a business can break even on its sales and marketing investments.

Doximity is extremely efficient at acquiring new customers, and its CAC payback period checked in at 5.6 months this quarter. The company’s efficiency indicates that it has a highly differentiated product offering and strong brand reputation, giving it the freedom to invest resources into new growth initiatives while maintaining optionality.
