HealthStream (ISIN US42222N1037) stock gained 3.60 percent to USD 31.4540 on October 5, 2026, after the prior close of USD 30.36. The move put the company at a market capitalization of USD 917.8 million on the same date.

Q2 revenue reached a record

Business Wire reported on August 3, 2026, that HealthStream generated Q2 2026 revenue of USD 83.7 million, up 12.5 percent from USD 74.4 million in Q2 2025. The result marked a new quarterly revenue record for the healthcare workforce technology company.

The finance figures for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, show revenue of USD 83.732 million, operating profit of USD 8.321 million and net income of USD 6.669 million. Diluted EPS was USD 0.23, while the operating margin reached 10 percent.

Consensus stays below the share price

According to MarketBeat on October 5, 2026, three analysts held a consensus rating of Hold and an average price target of USD 27.00. That target was USD 4.4540 below the October 5 price of USD 31.4540, making the valuation gap a key counterweight to the recent advance.

MarketBeat also reported that Canaccord Genuity raised its target from USD 24.00 to USD 27.00 on July 21, 2026, while assigning a Hold rating. The analyst history therefore shows a higher target, but it still remains below the latest cited trading level.

HealthStream stock holds a higher valuation

HealthStream stock was last cited at USD 31.4540 on Nasdaq on October 5, 2026, after moving up from USD 30.36. The combination of double-digit quarterly revenue growth and a USD 27.00 consensus target leaves operating execution and the payoff from platform investment as the central valuation questions.
