Action:ReiteratedDate:02/26/26
The score is held back primarily by weak financial quality (ongoing losses and material cash burn) and bearish technicals (price below major moving averages with negative MACD). Offsetting these, the latest earnings call was notably positive with strong 2026 growth and adjusted EBITDA guidance plus solid Diagnostics/Data indicators, but valuation is hard to justify on earnings due to the negative P/E.
Positive Factors
Revenue & Margin Improvement
Sustained revenue acceleration and a meaningful gross margin lift indicate improving unit economics and operating leverage. Over a multi-quarter horizon, higher margins reduce reliance on scale for profitability and make the path to sustained adjusted EBITDA and cash generation more achievable if growth persists.
Data Business Momentum & Contract Backlog
A >$1.1B contract backlog and 126% net revenue retention provide durable revenue visibility and expansion potential from existing customers. Large TCV and high NRR support recurring, higher‑margin revenues that compound over time and strengthen predictability versus one‑off diagnostics volumes.
Technology, Models & Product Platform
Significant on‑prem compute, foundation‑model development, and multimodal product launches (pathology, MRD, whole‑genome) build structural competitive advantages. Proprietary models + data create switching costs, support differentiated products, and enable price/margin expansion over multiple years.
Negative Factors
Persistent Cash Burn
Consistent negative operating and free cash flow increases dependence on external financing and raises execution risk. Until cash conversion improves, the company must manage capital allocation carefully; funding needs can constrain R&D, go‑to‑market expansion, or strategic optionality over 2–6 months.
Sizeable Debt and Leverage
Material debt levels limit financial flexibility for a business that is not yet consistently profitable. Interest and principal obligations heighten refinancing risk and reduce capital available for growth initiatives, particularly if cash generation lags or market conditions tighten.
Regulatory/Reimbursement Gating (MRD)
MRD represents large upside but is structurally gated by reimbursement reviews and assay iterations. Payer/regulatory timing and a pivot to a second‑gen assay create durable uncertainty that can materially delay high‑margin volume realization and margin improvement in upcoming quarters.

Tempus AI, Inc. Class A Earnings Call Summary

Earnings Call Date:Feb 24, 2026
(Q4-2025)
|
% Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:May 12, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call emphasized robust multi-year growth drivers: strong diagnostic unit growth (Oncology +29%, MRD +56% Q/Q), accelerating data business with >$1.1B in TCV and 126% net revenue retention, positive 2026 guidance ($1.59B) and a path to higher ASPs and adjusted EBITDA. Key near-term constraints are reimbursement gating for MRD, moderation and lumpiness in Hereditary growth, and one-time impacts to some reported data growth figures. Overall, the positive revenue, contract backlog, AI/foundation-model progress, and strong customer retention materially outweigh the execution and reimbursement risks highlighted.
Q4-2025 Updates
Positive Updates
Strong Overall Revenue and Positive Guidance
Core business total revenue up over 33% (factoring Ambry). Management guided 2026 revenue to $1.59 billion, consistent with a ~25% long-term growth expectation, and projected approximately $65 million of positive adjusted EBITDA.
Diagnostics: Oncology and Hereditary Unit Growth
Oncology unit growth of 29% in Q4 (accelerating throughout the year). Hereditary unit growth of 23% in Q4. Management expects Oncology to remain strong and core diagnostic growth to be in the ~30% range when excluding slower businesses.
MRD Traction and Upside
MRD tests ran ~4,700 in the quarter with quarter-over-quarter growth of 56%. Management stated the sales effort is highly constrained and estimated that if fully unblocked MRD volume could be up to ~20x higher, indicating substantial market opportunity pending reimbursement and go-to-market expansion.
Data Business Momentum and Contract Backlog
Data/licensing (Insights) revenue reported up 69% in the quarter when factoring a one-time AstraZeneca warrant impact, and management is projecting roughly 40% growth in the near quarter. Total contract value (TCV) is >$1.1 billion, and management emphasized bookings visibility for 2026 with strong in-year pipeline.
High Net Revenue Retention
Net revenue retention in the Data business was 126%, indicating existing customers are expanding spend and contributing to recurring revenue growth.
ASP Improvement and Path to Higher Pricing
Q4 average selling price (ASP) was approximately $1,640 (up ~$40 QoQ). Management outlined >$500 of potential upside to ASP over time driven primarily by migration from LDT xT to FDA-approved xT CDx (targeting majority of volume on FDA version by end of 2026) plus other product and payer improvements.
AI/Foundation Model Progress and Compute Investment
Foundation model deliverable for AstraZeneca hit internal benchmarks and was submitted for AZ testing. Tempus has deployed significant on-prem compute clusters (1000+ H200s for oncology model and an additional 500+ GB200s) and is scaling foundation-model work across radiology, pathology and other modalities to accelerate diagnostic and data product enhancements.
Product & Platform Enhancements
Launched Paige Predict (digitized pathology-derived predictive insights), developed Immune Profile Score, submitted xF (liquid biopsy) to the FDA, and announced a whole-genome heme offering going live this year—strengthening the multi-assay platform and multimodal data capture.
Negative Updates
Hereditary Growth Moderation and Lumpiness
Management expects Hereditary growth to moderate versus recent quarters — targeting high-teens longer-term growth with potential near-term lumpiness and the possibility of lower growth in Q1 as the company laps prior share gains.
MRD Reimbursement & Market Gating
MRD expansion is constrained by reimbursement and timing (e.g., MolDx review for first-gen CRC assay is pending with uncertain timing). The company currently relies mainly on tumor-informed MRD (~95% of current offering) and noted first-gen tumor-naive performance fell short, prompting a pivot to a second-generation assay.
One-Time Items and Comparability in Data Growth
Insights growth benefit in the quarter included a one-time impact from an AstraZeneca warrant which inflated the reported 69% growth figure; this introduces some comparability caution when assessing recurring growth trends.
ASP and Gross Margin Uncertainties/Offsets
While ASP upside could be material (>$500), management warned that ASP increases are not 1:1 with gross margin and could be offset by decisions to expand panel size or other product choices. ASP/gross margin progression therefore has execution and product-mix trade-offs to monitor.
Company Guidance
Tempus guided to $1.59 billion of revenue for 2026 (about 25% growth consistent with long‑term targets) and roughly $65 million of positive adjusted EBITDA, driven by a fast‑growing Data business and an accelerating Diagnostics franchise; Diagnostics core revenue was up over 33% (incl. Ambry), with Oncology unit growth of 29%, Hereditary unit growth of 23%, MRD up 56% quarter‑over‑quarter (≈4,700 MRD tests in Q4 and management said MRD could be ~20x higher if fully unblocked), and Q4 ASPs about $1,640 (up ~$40 QoQ) with >$500 of upside potential toward >$2,200 ASPs as xT migrates to FDA‑approved CDx (majority volume targeted on CDx by end‑2026); Data bookings/TCV exceed $1.1 billion (with a portion—~$350M—tied to 2026), net revenue retention was 126%, and Insights/licensing growth is expected to be ~40% in the quarter.

Tempus AI, Inc. Class A Financial Statement Overview

Summary
Operating progress is mixed: revenue growth and gross margin improved meaningfully, and leverage improved as equity rebuilt. However, the company remains unprofitable with sizable net losses and persistent cash burn (operating cash flow and free cash flow negative, including ~-$218M operating cash flow in 2025), keeping funding/execution risk elevated.
Income Statement
45
Neutral
Revenue growth is strong and accelerating in the latest annual period (+15.1% vs. near-flat growth in 2024), and gross margin has improved meaningfully (about 69.6% in 2025 vs. ~55.0% in 2024), indicating better unit economics. However, profitability remains weak: the company is still generating sizable operating and net losses (net margin around -19.3% in 2025), even though losses narrowed materially from 2024’s exceptionally large loss year. Overall: improving fundamentals and margin profile, but still not yet profitable.
Balance Sheet
52
Neutral
Balance sheet risk has improved versus 2024 as equity rebuilt substantially (about $491M in 2025 vs. ~$56M in 2024), which reduced leverage from very high levels (debt-to-equity fell from ~8.3x to ~1.7x). That said, debt remains sizeable (~$816M), return on equity is still negative given ongoing losses, and the capital structure still reflects meaningful leverage for a company not yet consistently profitable.
Cash Flow
34
Negative
Cash generation remains a key weakness: operating cash flow and free cash flow are both negative in each year shown, including 2025 (operating cash flow about -$218M). Free cash flow also worsened in 2025 (about -12.1% growth), signaling continued cash burn despite improving income statement trends. Overall: persistent negative cash flow increases funding/financing dependence until profitability and cash conversion improve.
