Hold Rating Maintained for The Joint Corp. Amid Uncertainty in Revenue Growth and Clinic Performance

Maxim Group analyst Anthony Vendetti has maintained their neutral stance on JYNT stock, giving a Hold rating yesterday.

Anthony Vendetti has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors impacting The Joint Corp.’s current and future performance. The company’s recent second-quarter results showed mixed outcomes, with revenue aligning with consensus but falling short of internal estimates, and net income from continuing operations per share below expectations. Additionally, the company revised its 2025 guidance downward, indicating challenges in achieving previously anticipated sales growth and new clinic openings.
While The Joint Corp. has taken steps to improve operational efficiency by selling corporate-owned clinics and launching new growth initiatives, these efforts introduce near-term uncertainty. The effectiveness of recent initiatives, such as dynamic revenue management and enhanced patient-facing technology, remains unproven as they were only recently implemented. Furthermore, the revised guidance for fewer new clinic openings and the need to sell a sizable inventory of corporate clinics add to the uncertainty. Given these factors, Anthony Vendetti maintains a Hold rating, suggesting that greater clarity on revenue growth and clinic performance is needed before recommending a buy.

In another report released yesterday, Craig-Hallum also reiterated a Hold rating on the stock with a $10.50 price target.
