Published on 09/04/2026 at 16:07 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Waystar Holding Corp. (ISIN US94419L1017) stock opened at $26.08 on September 4, 2026, after a July 29, 2026 quarter in which revenue reached $319.67 million and EPS came in at $0.43. The same report showed revenue up 18.1 percent year over year, and MarketBeat said analysts now expect $1.47 EPS for the current fiscal year.
July 29 set the tone
MarketBeat reported that Waystar beat consensus on both the top and bottom line in the latest quarter, with EPS of $0.43 against $0.40 expected and revenue of $319.67 million versus $316.21 million. The company also posted a net margin of 11.18 percent and return on equity of 7.03 percent for that period.
That combination matters more than the daily quote alone. With a market cap of $5.00 billion and a 1-year range of $17.26 to $41.47, Waystar stock is still priced well below its yearly high despite the stronger quarter.
Analysts stay constructive
According to MarketBeat, the latest analyst consensus on Waystar points to a moderate buy view and an average target price of $35.52. In the same report, Barclays lifted its target to $27.00, while Royal Bank of Canada reiterated a $44.00 target and Deutsche Bank kept a $39.00 target.

Revenue cycle software drives the model
Waystar runs a cloud-based revenue cycle management and payment platform for healthcare organizations, which MarketBeat described as software that helps streamline eligibility verification, claims, payment reconciliation, and patient billing. That model is reflected in the latest quarter: revenue of $319.67 million, adjusted to a year-over-year gain of 18.1 percent, with EBITDA not quoted in the current market snapshot but the margin still visibly above 11 percent.
Share price and range
Waystar stock traded at $26.08 on September 4, 2026, with the share price sitting above the 50-day average of $23.47 and the 200-day average of $22.77. The stock has a 1-year low of $17.26 and a 1-year high of $41.47, which puts the latest quote closer to the middle of the range than to the top.
