Intact: The reason to own it still holds.
Tactile Systems aims for $360M to $368M revenue in 2026. Adjusted EBITDA target is $49M to $51M. The company has beaten earnings recently and started a $25M share buyback. Revenue growth and margin improvement could restore profitability.
The company had negative operating income and cash flow in Q1 2026. Meeting aggressive revenue and EBITDA targets may be challenging. If cash flow does not improve, financial health could worsen.
The price is about 13% below our fair value near $36. Analysts expect about 10% revenue growth. Our view aligns with moderate growth but sees risks in margin and cash flow recovery.
Breaks if: Adjusted EBITDA falls below $38M in FY26
Target full year 2026 adjusted EBITDA in the range of $49 million to $51 million, improving profitability and operating leverage.
