The analyst reasoned that Teladoc Health, Inc. (NYSE:TDOC) is experiencing a growth slowdown, especially in its Livongo and BetterHelp segments, which underwent a drop in app downloads and monthly active users. Lutz attributed this deceleration to a rise in customer acquisition costs and a cautious consumer spending environment.
However, the analyst also acknowledged that Teladoc Health, Inc.’s (NYSE:TDOC) recent acquisitions, Catapult and Uplift, are paving the way for future revenue growth despite these challenges.
Lutz further stated that these initiatives are in their early stages and would require time to materialize.
