Investment Highlights Why It Matters Which of these 2 stories sounds closer for this stock?

1. Generates cash flow

The stock generated 4% or more of the share price (called cash flow yield), and shows moderate 10-15% or more growth.

2. Riding a trend

Think Tesla during the pandemic of 2020 when EVs were riding a cultural high, or Nvidia in the current AI boom, or even Figma. These companies don’t have enough yield, or, enough growth, or both - however - they are riding a trend. They have momentum. These can be more volatile - they don’t have the floor of strong cash flow

Here are the key points for the significant movement in Tactile Systems Technology (TCMD) stock during the latter half of 2025: 1. Strong Third Quarter 2025 Financial Performance and Raised Guidance.

Tactile Systems Technology reported robust Q3 2025 financial results on November 3, 2025, with total revenue increasing 17% year-over-year to $85.8 million. The company's net income rose to $8.2 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, from $5.2 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, in Q3 2024. Furthermore, Adjusted EBITDA significantly improved to $14.4 million compared to $10.7 million in the prior year. This strong performance led management to raise its full-year 2025 revenue guidance to a range of $317 million to $321 million, signaling an 8%-10% growth, up from the previous range of $310 million to $315 million. Following this announcement, the stock saw a substantial surge, including a 22.13% gain in after-hours trading and a 39.38% jump on November 4, 2025. 2.
