Why DataMEDS’ Acquisition Does Not Seem to Be Very Bullish for MEDS Stock at This Point
DataMEDS (MEDS) is being acquired by Axe, potentially yielding $7.5M pre-tax. MEDS stock has declined since a Sept. 16 surge. Q2 2026 revenue was $1.78M, down 77% YoY, with Q1 2026 revenue down 86% YoY. The low valuation and falling sales make MEDS stock unattractive, according to the analysis.
