Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Teladoc stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Teladoc has incurred significant losses in each period since its inception. These losses and accumulated deficit stemmed from the substantial investments made by the company to acquire new clients, build its proprietary network of healthcare providers and develop its technology platform. For 2017, Teladoc is anticipated to report a loss of $46 million–$49 million. Nevertheless, Teladoc is witnessing steady business growth with insurers and customers increasingly embracing tele-health. With five acquisitions completed since its inception, the insurer has expanded its distribution capabilities and broadened its service offering. However, year to date the stock has given a stupendous performance outperforming the Zacks categorized Medical Services industry." (7/17/2017)
• 2. Cantor Fitzgerald analysts commented, "Strategy makes sense. Boston-based Best Doctors is a medical consultation company focused on second opinions. Its primary customer base lines up nicely with that of TDOC in that it offers cost-containment solutions to employers and payer/provider solutions. In addition to offering expert medical reviews, it provides potential physician referrals to members. With Best Doctors, TDOC expands its range of services into higher-acuity (costs) healthcare delivery. Strategically, the combination of Best Doctors and TDOC makes sense to us. Financials are a different story. TDOC indicates that Best Doctors is expected to generate revenue in excess of $100 million in 2017. This compares with Best Doctors’ 2016 revenue of $92 million (net of divestitures). Our standalone TDOC revenue estimate is $182.5 million for 2017. On an annualized basis, Best Doctors generates about $8.8 million of adjusted EBITDA. TDOC’s 2017 adjusted EBITDA guidance prior to the acquisition was a loss of $19.5-22.5 million. Although Best Doctors should be immediately additive to TDOC’s adjusted EBITDA, added interest expense and more shares outstanding will likely result in a slightly higher loss per share in 2018, before any revenue and cost synergies. Before synergies, the EV/EBITDA valuation for Best Doctors is about 50x (on a run-rate basis), which is expensive." (6/19/2017)
• 3. Cowen and Company analysts commented, "We are positive on TDOC's partnership with Accolade as it should help drive utilization for members entitled to both benefits. For clients with the combined offering, it has demonstrated improvements in utilization, with mgmt noting ~30% higher utilization. The partnership is already embedded into 2017 guidance, which gives us incremental comfort in the implied utilization ramp." (3/16/2017)
• 4. Chardan Capital analysts commented, "After market close on Wed., TDOC reported earnings with a beat and a mixed guide for 2017. For 4Q16, Teladoc beat the Street consensus by 2% on the topline and by $0.04 on the bottom line. Management guided to topline growth in 2017 of 48%, in-line with Street consensus and re-affirmed its target of being adj. EBITDA breakeven in 4Q17. Management also guided to more EBITDA loss in 2017 than the Street expected in the first 3 quarters driven by various investments in growth. We adjust our estimates down slightly and in-line with Management Guidance for 2017. We raise our PT to $28 based on multiple expansion we see in 2017 as TDOC's operating characteristics improve relative to valuation comps and investor confidence grows in the company's execution."
