As Canada’s healthcare system grapples with rising demand, aging infrastructure, and the need for more efficient care delivery, small-cap health tech companies are stepping in to reshape the landscape. At the forefront of this transformation is WELL Health Technologies (TSX:WELL)—a digital health powerhouse that wants to redefine how Canadians access medical services.

This content has been prepared as part of a partnership with WELL Health Technologies Corp. and is intended for informational purposes only.

A small-cap stock with big ambitions

WELL Health began as a network of primary care clinics but has evolved into a diversified digital health company. Its strategy blends traditional healthcare with cutting-edge technology, including telehealth platforms, electronic medical records (EMR), and AI-driven diagnostics.

In recent quarters, WELL has reaffirmed its 2025 earnings guidance, projecting revenues between C$1.40 billion and C$1.45 billion. This growth is fueled by both organic expansion and a disciplined acquisition strategy, which has added over C$100 million in annualized revenue since late 2024.

Telehealth expansion: Circle Medical and VirtualClinic+

One of WELL’s most strategic moves was acquiring a majority stake in Circle Medical, a Silicon Valley-based telehealth provider. This deal marked WELL’s entry into the massive US healthcare market, valued at over US$3.6 trillion.

Circle Medical’s platform combines virtual care with in-person services, supported by AI tools that enhance physician decision-making. WELL’s own VirtualClinic+ service has seen explosive growth, with telehealth visits increasing 730 per cent quarter-over-quarter, and over 1,000 practitioners onboarded to meet demand.

Financials and valuation: A hidden gem?

Despite its strong fundamentals, WELL’s stock trades at a significant discount. Analysts estimate its intrinsic value at C$9.81, nearly 50 per cent above current levels. The company boasts a perfect 6/6 valuation score, indicating it may be one of the most undervalued small-cap stocks on the TSX.

Recent earnings show:

These figures reflect not just acquisition-driven growth, but also a robust 21 per cent organic growth rate, underscoring WELL’s operational strength.

What should investors watch?

  1. Canadian market focus: WELL is streamlining operations to focus more on Canada, where it sees higher returns and lower risk. This includes planned divestitures of some US assets.
  2. M&A pipeline: With 12 letters of intent (LOIs) in progress, WELL continues to scout for high-margin, tech-enabled healthcare assets.
  3. AI and EMR integration: WELL’s EMR division saw a 1,212 per cent YoY increase in digital services revenue, signaling strong demand for tech-driven care.

Investor’s corner

WELL Health Technologies is an example of how small-cap companies can lead innovation in Canadian healthcare. With a compelling mix of undervaluation, aggressive growth, and strategic focus on digital health, WELL offers investors a rare opportunity to participate in the future of medicine.

For small-cap investors seeking exposure to healthcare innovation, WELL Health is not just a stock—it’s a story of transformation.
