Doximity operates a digital platform that provides connections between medical professionals and service providers. The Company primarily generates revenue from selling subscriptions to various marketing "modules" to customers such as health systems and pharmaceutical companies that can promote their services and products to platform users.
A pending securities fraud class action alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Doximity overstated its business prospects while downplaying its reliance on "upselling" (meaning selling additional modules or services) to their existing customers.
On August 8, 2023, after the market closed, Doximity reported its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2024, which ended on June 30, 2023, and significantly reduced its guidance for the second quarter and full fiscal year 2024. During the Company's earnings call held later that day, Doximity's Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, defendant Jeffrey Tangney, revealed that, "our upsell close rate fell short in June and July" and, "after growing steadily for a decade, our upsells have now slowed for 2 years in a row." Tangney also announced that the Company was laying off 10% of its workforce. On this news, the price of Doximity common stock declined $7.49 per share, or 22.8%, from a close of $32.79 per share on August 8, 2023, to close at $25.30 per share on August 9, 2023.
On April 1, 2024, Jehoshaphat Research published a report alleging that "Doximity's underlying sales . . . are declining at a negative -3-6% rate, but that this decline has been masked through accelerated revenue recognition." The report further claimed that "Doximity has been recognizing previously-deferred revenues earlier and earlier within any given period" as a method of driving reported revenue growth. On this news, the price of Doximity common stock declined $0.50 per share, or 1.9%, from a close of $26.91 per share on March 28, 2024, to close at $26.41 per share the next trading day, April 1, 2024. The price continued to decline the next day.
