Meridian Growth Fund made the following comment about HealthEquity, Inc. (NASDAQ:HQY) in its Q3 2023 investor letter:
“HealthEquity, Inc. (NASDAQ:HQY) is a leading provider of health savings accounts (HSAs). The increasing adoption of high-deductible health insurance plans by employers has led to higher demand for HSAs, which provide consumers with an effective means of saving and paying for health-related expenses. Our investment thesis for this company is based on our belief that, as the market-leading U.S. provider of HSAs, HealthEquity will continue to benefit from rising demand trends. During the quarter, expectations of rising interest rates further boosted earnings power for HealthEquity, which collects float income on its HSA account balances. The stock also climbed on news of the company’s planned acquisition of BenefitWallet. Income generated from BenefitWallet’s more than $3 billion in assets could be immediately accretive and create a path for strong earnings growth over the next couple of years. We maintained our position in the stock during the period as the share price appreciated.”
