Shares declined 11.6% following Waystar’s Q2 report, driven by indications of decelerating growth momentum and a cautious outlook despite solid bookings and margin performance.
- Revenue grew 18% year-over-year to $320 million, a solid increase but not enough to offset investor concerns on growth sustainability.
