The company employs cutting-edge techniques like next-generation sequencing and molecular genotyping.

As Tempus AI prepares to release its quarterly earnings on February 3, 2025, Wall Street anticipates an earnings per share (EPS) of -$0.14. Despite this projected loss, the company's revenue is expected to be around $200.5 million. Tempus AI's recent launch of the AI-enabled personal health concierge app, Olivia, is expected to boost revenues, particularly in its AI applications business.
Tempus AI's Genomics unit is expected to show strong growth, driven by increased unit expansion. The company has already reported preliminary fourth-quarter revenues of approximately $200 million, a 35% increase from the previous year. For the full year, preliminary revenues were around $693 million, reflecting a 30% rise. The Zacks Consensus Estimate projects slightly higher revenues of $206.3 million for the fourth quarter.
Despite a negative price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of -12.79, Tempus AI's stock has seen a significant surge, increasing by 45% following the announcement of Olivia. The company's stock value, which had decreased by 16% over the year, has rebounded to $51. This reflects investor optimism about Tempus AI's potential in the healthcare sector, particularly in oncology and other testing areas.
Tempus AI faces financial challenges, as indicated by its negative earnings yield of -7.82% and a high debt-to-equity ratio of 8.78. However, the company maintains a strong current ratio of 2.69, suggesting it can cover short-term liabilities with its assets. As Tempus AI continues to innovate and expand, its financial performance will be closely watched by investors.
