Masimo (NASDAQ:MASI) stock is taking a beating on Tuesday after the patient monitoring tech company released preliminary earnings for the second quarter of 2023.
The bad news for investors in MASI stock starts with its expected revenue of between $453 million and $457 million for Q2. That’s nowhere close to the $540.87 million that Wall Street is expecting for the quarter.
Masimo contributes the lower-than-expected revenue to a drop in healthcare revenue. It attributes this decline to delays in large orders, falling single-patient use sensor sales, lower customer conversions and decreasing demand for its products from hospitals.
