Doximity Stock Pre-Market (-38%): Weak Guidance Overshadows Earnings Beat

Doximity (DOCS) is in a freefall, shedding over a third of its value pre-market. While the company technically beat Q3 earnings and revenue estimates, a significant guide-down for future revenue has spooked investors. Is this a structural break in the growth story or a classic overreaction?

This is a structural catalyst. The issue isn’t the past quarter, but the future. Management’s guidance for Q4 revenue represents a dramatic slowdown in growth, signaling potential market saturation or increased competition.

• Q4 revenue guidance of $143M – $144M badly misses consensus estimates, implying only 4% YoY growth.
• Net revenue retention rate, a key metric for growth, declined to 112% from 118% in the prior quarter.
• Margins are compressing, with non-GAAP gross margin falling due to heavy investments in AI infrastructure.

But here is the interesting part. You are reading about this -38% move after it happened. The market has already priced in the news. To avoid the next loser before the headlines, you need predictive signals, not notifications. High Quality Portfolio has a risk model designed to reduce exposure to losers.

Playbook On Market Open

The session will be a battle between dip-buyers looking for value and sellers convinced the growth story is broken. The CEO’s commentary on the earnings call will be critical.

• BULL CASE (Gap & Go): Management must sell a compelling long-term AI monetization story on their call, and the stock must reclaim the $25 level on high volume.
• BEAR CASE (Gap & Fade): Any failure to hold the pre-market lows signals a lack of institutional support. Watch for a wave of analyst downgrades post-call.
• A newly announced $500 million share repurchase program could provide some support but may not be enough to counter the weak guidance.

Verdict

FADE THE GAP on DOCS. Unless the stock can reclaim the $22.00 pivot level within the first 30 minutes, expect continued selling pressure as investors digest a fundamental reset of growth expectations.
