DocMorris stock closed at CHF10.00 on the day of its latest earnings, capping a volatile few months that included a sharp rebound over the past quarter. The market has been treating DocMorris as a high growth, online pharmacy bet. The headline from the latest numbers is more sobering. Revenue over the last twelve months reached about CHF1.1b, yet the company still reported a sizeable loss from continuing operations and a loss per share in the mid single digit CHF range.
The expectation gap is clear for you as a shareholder. The growth story remains tied to sales momentum, while the real pressure point this time is the ongoing drag from unprofitable operations.

For a bullish view on DocMorris, the key support is that revenue on a trailing twelve month basis now sits at about CHF1.1b. That points to a business that continues to attract demand for its online pharmacy and digital health services. The smaller loss per share over the same period also hints that dilution from losses is easing. For investors who back the long term shift to digital healthcare, this combination of a higher sales base and lower per share loss can still fit a cautiously optimistic story.
The bearish side of the DocMorris story still finds plenty of fuel. The loss from continuing operations has widened to CHF134.4m on a trailing twelve month view, even with the higher revenue base. That points to ongoing pressure from costs in an already competitive and regulated market. The share price is up over 50% in the past 90 days, so expectations have moved ahead of the earnings trend. Until losses begin to contract in absolute terms, concerns about the resilience of the business model remain very much in play.
