Doximity, Inc. (DOCS)·Q2 2026 Earnings Summary
Executive Summary
- DOCS delivered a strong Q2 FY26: revenue $168.5M (+23% y/y), non-GAAP diluted EPS $0.45, adjusted EBITDA $100.8M (59.8% margin), with operating cash flow $93.9M (+37% y/y). Revenue and EPS beat S&P Global consensus, and results were ~7% (revenue) and ~15% (adj. EBITDA) above the high end of their own guidance, driven by AI-optimized integrated programs and a stronger, earlier upsell cycle .
- FY26 guidance was raised: revenue to $640–$646M and adjusted EBITDA to $351–$357M; Q3 FY26 guidance set at revenue $180–$181M and adjusted EBITDA $103–$104M .
- Engagement and platform adoption hit records: 650k prescribers used workflow tools; AI Scribe and DoxGPT users grew >50% q/q; telehealth averaged >300k voice/video visits per weekday, integrating Scribe “one tap” into Dialer .
- Catalysts: AI suite integration (Pathway), integrated program mix (>40% of bookings vs <5% y/y), portal-driven ROI transparency (3x client portal users; 10x ROI studies) supporting sustained share gains and higher visibility; tempered near-term sequential growth as upsells shift earlier and policy uncertainty lingers into upfronts .
What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- Broad-based beat vs guidance and consensus: revenue $168.5M and adjusted EBITDA $100.8M, with CFO noting ~7% and ~15% beats vs the high end of guidance, respectively; non-GAAP diluted EPS $0.45 .
- AI traction and integration: “AI Scribe and DoxGPT users grew over 50% from the prior quarter,” and Pathway’s dataset/models integrated into DocsGPT across web/mobile, including drug reference and full-text access to 2,000+ journals for evidence-based answers .
- Commercial momentum and mix shift: Integrated, AI-optimized offerings represented >40% of Q2 bookings (vs <5% y/y) and SMB bookings grew ~100% y/y; NRR 118%, 121 customers >$500k TTM contributing 84% of revenue .
What Went Wrong
- Sequential revenue cadence: Management expects a smaller Q2→Q3 “step-up” than typical as upsells were pulled forward into Q2 and spread more evenly, making Q3 a tougher comp despite healthy H2 growth (~14% y/y for calendar H2) .
- Policy uncertainty into upfronts: Clients are cautious finalizing CY26 budgets amid regulatory/policy changes (e.g., DTC scrutiny; evolving drug pricing topics), introducing near-term visibility risk despite strong portal engagement .
- Rising AI investment: Back-half FY26 expenses will rise to build/power AI solutions (offset over time by scale and internal AI-driven efficiencies), keeping a measured posture despite maintaining 55%+ adjusted EBITDA margin for FY26 .

- “Adjusted EBITDA margin of 60% or $101M… 15% above the high end of our guidance.” — CEO .
- “We finished the quarter with a net revenue retention rate of 118%… 121 customers contributing at least $500,000… accounted for 84% of our total revenue.” — CFO .

Q&A Highlights
- Budget cadence and policy: Management sees CY26 budget caution and more even upsell deployment; Q2 was stronger than typical with less Q3 step-up expected. Policy shifts (DTC scrutiny, drug pricing) contribute to uncertainty but engagement remains high .
- AI strategy and monetization: Pathway integrated; focus on quality, speed, and evidence-based answers (drug reference, 2,000+ journals). AI is also optimizing integrated programs (akin to Google PMax) to deliver better ROI and smoother revenue .
- SMB channel: Agency partners (>12) are accelerating SMB growth (+~100% y/y), adding new clients and elevating existing accounts .
- Health systems: Enterprise on-call scheduling is one of fastest-growing businesses; early sales of AI suite to top-20 systems; recruiting (Curative) up ~25% y/y .
- Capital allocation: Repurchased $21.9M of shares at ~$61.62; $280M authorization remaining; $878M in cash & investments .
Estimates Context
- Q2 FY26 beats: Revenue $168.525M vs $157.591M consensus; Non-GAAP diluted EPS $0.45 vs $0.379 consensus; both indicate solid outperformance and likely positive estimate revisions near term.*
- EBITDA metric caution: S&P Global “EBITDA Consensus Mean” shows reported EBITDA $65.541M vs $87.521M consensus (miss), but the company’s key profitability metric is Adjusted EBITDA at $100.830M (59.8% margin), which beat company guidance. The definitional difference (EBITDA vs Adjusted EBITDA) is material for interpretation.*
- FY26 outlook raised (revenue and adjusted EBITDA) should prompt upward revisions to FY26 models; however, management flagged a smaller Q3 step-up and policy-related budget caution into CY26 upfronts, tempering near-term sequential assumptions .

Key Takeaways for Investors
- Outperformance with raised FY26 guide: Q2 revenue/EPS beats and higher FY26 ranges underscore durable growth and operating leverage, aided by AI-optimized integrated programs .
- Mix shift drives visibility: Integrated programs (>40% of bookings) and portal-driven ROI (3x users; 10x studies) are smoothing upsells and improving predictability; expect a more even cadence vs historical year-end “flush” patterns .
- AI differentiation: Pathway integration (drug reference, 2,000+ journals) and rapid AI user adoption (>50% q/q) strengthen competitive moat and create additional monetization vectors across newsfeed, workflow, and enterprise .
- Health system momentum: Enterprise on-call scheduling and early AI suite adoption by top systems plus recruiting growth diversify beyond pharma and support medium-term growth .
- Near-term watch items: Expect a smaller Q3 step-up given pull-forward; track CY26 budget finalization, DTC policy developments, and implied Q4 revenue (~$146–$151M) versus expectations .
- Expense trajectory: Back-half AI investments rise, but management still targets 55%+ adjusted EBITDA margin in FY26; monitor opex scaling and AI unit economics .
- Capital returns: Active buybacks ($21.9M in Q2) with $280M remaining and $878M liquidity provide flexibility; deployment may support EPS and downside protection .
