Shares of HealthEquity (
HQY
) tumbled Tuesday after the
health savings account (HSA)
custodian's full-year outlook missed forecasts.
The company said it expects fiscal 2025 earnings per share (EPS) of $3.08 to $3.16, and revenue of $1.185 billion to $1.195 billion. Analysts surveyed by Visible Alpha were looking for EPS of $3.72 and revenue of $1.32 billion.
The weaker-than-expected outlook offset HealthEquity’s strong third-quarter results, with EPS of 78 cents and revenue up 21% year-over-year to $300.4 million. Both figures exceeded estimates.
Service revenue came in at $119.2 million, custodial revenue was $141 million, and interchange revenue totaled $40.3 million. All three grew from the year before.
The number of HSAs was up 15% to 9.5 million, with total HSA assets jumping 33% to $30 billion. Total accounts, which include HSAs and other consumer-directed benefits (CDB), rose 8% to 16.5 million.
HealthEquity shares were down over 6% to $94.84 in afternoon trading Tuesday, though even with Tuesday’s drop, they've gained about 43% since the start of the year.
