What this transaction means for investors
It would be more encouraging to see Hinge Health’s co-founder retain their shares. That said, this transaction doesn’t look like this insider is trying to run for cover. After selling 50,000 shares, they still held 2.97 million shares, split between direct and indirect holdings.
Right now hardly seems like a great time to let go of Hinge Health stock. The company’s home health business is growing rapidly, and its bottom line is soaring. First-quarter sales jumped 47% higher year over year to $182 million.
It doesn’t look like Hinge Health is cutting prices to attract customers. The company’s first-quarter gross margin grew to 85% from 81% in the previous year period. Expanding margins boosted first-quarter free cash flow to $41.6 million from just $4.2 million a year ago.
