HealthStream, Inc. Stock Plummets to New 52-Week Low of $24.37

HealthStream, Inc., a small-cap player in the software products industry, has reached a new 52-week low of USD 24.37 as of October 30, 2025. This decline marks a significant downturn for the company, which has experienced a 12.07% decrease in its stock price over the past year, contrasting sharply with the S&P 500's 18.13% gain during the same period.
With a market capitalization of USD 833 million, HealthStream's financial metrics reveal a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 46.00, indicating a premium valuation compared to its peers. The company has not distributed dividends, maintaining a 0.00% yield, and its debt-to-equity ratio stands at -0.26, reflecting a conservative financial structure. However, the return on equity (ROE) is relatively modest at 5.80%.

Despite a slight increase in profits of 7.2% over the past year, HealthStream has struggled with long-term growth, evidenced by an annual net sales growth rate of just 3.61% and an operating profit growth rate of 2.86% over the last five years. The stock's performance has consistently lagged behind the S&P 500, highlighting ongoing challenges in its market position.
