Teladoc rises after Citron report calls it a “coiled spring”

Teladoc, the embattled pandemic-era darling, rose about 15% on Monday and is up another 4.7% in premarket trading on Tuesday after Citron Research published a bullish report on the company.

The fact that more of Teladoc’s services — especially BetterHelp, its biggest cash cow — will soon potentially be covered by insurance could reverse the company’s declining revenues, the research firm said: “This isn’t incremental — it’s transformational.”

The cheery report breathed life into Teladoc, which is still down 17% this year. It recently appointed a new CEO after the abrupt departure of its longtime leader in April.

The stock peaked at about $300 a share in early 2021. On Monday, it closed at $7.89.
