- 02THE BI-WEEKLY BOTTOM LINE
Evidence Moved Value This Period; Announcements on Their Own Did Not
Shows that 12 of 14 covered names fell over the period, with the median move at -3.9% against a +0.8% S&P 500 return.
Over this two-week window, 12 of the 14 names we cover fell, and the median move came in at -3.9% while the S&P 500 returned +0.8%. That gap tells us the market drew a sharp line between operating proof and announcement volume. The names that beat the median did so on regulatory and integration evidence, not on guidance alone. So what: in this sector right now, evidence — not headlines — is what earns the bid.

- 03PUBLIC MARKET MOVERS
Regulatory Clearance Paid; Guidance and Pipeline Updates Did Not
Compares public market movers against a materiality bar, led by Beta Bionics' +22.7% move and LifeMD's -14.8% decline.
Beta Bionics (BBNX) was the period's standout, up +22.7% with a +15.3% single-day move on September 16 following its FDA clearance announcement. LifeMD (LFMD), by contrast, fell -14.8% even after announcing an exclusive carrier collaboration. Against the sector-relative materiality bar, the pattern is consistent: cleared, verifiable milestones moved price, while distribution announcements without enrollment proof did not. So what: when we screen this cohort, we now weight cleared regulatory events well above pipeline or distribution headlines.

(BBNX) +22.7% Shares moved following the Sep 14 FDA clearance of the Mint patch pump and an announced partnership pairing year-long continuous glucose monitoring with the iLet Bionic Pancreas. Securities class action filings landed in the same window. A Premium-tier name shows the market pays for cleared product with recurring service attached. COMPANY-SPECIFIC Evommune, Inc. (EVMN) -19.6% Shares moved following the Sep 23 announcement of a late-breaker Phase 2a presentation for EVO301 in atopic dermatitis; the biggest single day, -8.6%, fell on that date, after a Sep 15 filing furnishing an updated corporate presentation. Clinical read-outs reprice adjacent models faster than any contract news in this set. COMPANY-SPECIFIC LifeMD, Inc. (LFMD) -14.8% The available evidence suggests the drag was the downward revenue and EBITDA guidance revision and sequential subscriber decline flagged in Sep 16 coverage, which landed days after the announced carrier collaboration. Reach converts to value through enrolment and retention, not through announcement volume. COMPANY-SPECIFIC Astrana Health, Inc. (ASTH) -11.3% The move appears to reflect the updated investor presentation furnished Sep 15, which carried FY2026 guidance and Q2 2026 revenue of $938.2 million; the biggest day, -9.0%, came Sep 17, with law-firm investigations announced Sep 22. Discount-tier care delivery names are being marked on guidance credibility, not headline revenue. COMPANY-SPECIFIC

What Companies Actually Did: Clearance, Distribution and Footprint
Summarizes the period's highest-impact events — regulatory clearance, a distribution partnership and a new care site — each linked to its underlying source.
This period's catalysts ran through concrete operating steps: a product clearance, an integration partnership and a new care-delivery footprint. Each item on this page links back to the filing or article it came from, so the read stays checkable line by line. We treat the 'why it matters' language as our own calibrated read, not as fact beyond what is filed or published. So what: the events that mattered were the ones with a verifiable filing behind them, not the ones with the loudest headline.

- 05M&A & STRATEGIC ACTIVITY
Operators Chose Partnerships While the Precedent Record Held Steady
Shows that operators favored partnerships over transactions this period, with the precedent transaction record unchanged.
No material sector transactions were announced in this window; the visible activity ran instead through a product clearance, an integration partnership and a new care site. The precedent transaction record we track held steady rather than being reset by fresh deal activity. That steadiness is itself informative: it tells us the market is still pricing off the same comparison set it had two weeks ago. So what: valuation conversations right now should lean on the existing precedent record, not on any new deal signal.

- 06WHAT IT MEANS
What the Period Changes for Operators, Buyers and Advisors
Translates the period's evidence into observations for operators, acquirers and advisors.
For operators, the period rewarded converting eligible populations into enrolled, retained relationships — eligibility alone did not move price. For acquirers, the comparison points that shifted were operating ones: a cleared device with a monitoring partnership, a carrier distribution deal and a care-delivery guidance update, while the precedent transaction record stayed flat. For advisors, the message is to lead conversations with proof — clearance, partnership and guidance detail — rather than announcement volume. So what: across every seat at the table, the same evidence hierarchy applied this period.

SOURCES & METHODOLOGY Sources, Methodology and Important Notice How this bi-weekly update is built and what each kind of statement rests on · September 14–28, 2026 · market data through 2026-09-28 Every figure in this update links to the record it was taken from; the publishers and filings drawn on for the period are listed above. Digital Health and Telehealth Bi-Weekly Update | September 14–28, 2026 | Confidential | Not investment advice 7 OBSERVED DATA Bi-Weekly stock moves are computed close-to-close over the stated window from the platform’s price series. Deal records, values and multiples come from the platform’s transaction record (SEC 8-K extractions) exactly as recorded; each figure links to its citation. Treasury rates come from the platform’s Treasury series and are shown only when the 10-year moved at least ten basis points over the window (it did not in this window, so no rate figures appear). UNIVERSE QUALITY The update universe is the platform’s approved company set for this sector, subject to a $100M market-cap floor so small, loosely related names cannot dominate the statistics. 2 names below the floor were excluded from movers and statistics for this window. EVENTS & NEWS Company events are in-window 8-K filings; news items are publisher-sourced headlines fetched for the window (and any externally supplied items, marked as such). Operational and strategic developments (deals, partnerships, launches, expansion, guidance, leadership, regulatory outcomes) are shown first; capital-return mechanics and conference appearances are limited to one each. Every event links to its source. The deck never asserts an event that has no linked record. SOURCE HIERARCHY News is admitted in a fixed order of reliability: SEC filings first, then company press releases and investor-relations communications, then transaction documents, then established outlets (Reuters, CNBC, The Wall Street Journal, Barron’s and peers). Video and social platforms — including YouTube — are never used as sources. DRIVER ATTRIBUTION A stock move is linked to an event only when the event falls inside the window, and only in calibrated language ("the move appears to reflect…", "shares moved following…"). Where no driver is recorded, the page says so and compares the move to the sector median instead. ANALYTICAL INTERPRETATION "Why it matters", "why the deal happened" and the what-it-means page are NeuraCap analytical views drawn from the recorded evidence, and are labeled as such. INHERITED CONTEXT The standing sector view (thesis, valuation lens, sector median and tiering) is inherited from the NeuraCap sector study run_20260929T171349Z_546_prod (market data as of 2026-09-28) — distilled, never re-derived. That report’s own sources page governs its content; this update reads the period against it. IMPORTANT NOTICE This report is informational only. It is not investment advice, not a recommendation to buy or sell any security, and not an offer of any kind. Readers should perform their own diligence before acting on anything described here.

Sources and methodology
This update covers Digital Health and Telehealth over the 14-day window September 14–28, 2026; market data runs through September 28, 2026. The universe is the 14 listed companies whose core business is Digital Health and Telehealth under NeuraCap's industry classification, subject to a $100M market-capitalisation floor so that very small, loosely related names cannot dominate the movers and statistics.

Window and company universe
This update covers Digital Health and Telehealth over the 14-day window September 14–28, 2026; market data runs through September 28, 2026. The universe is the 14 listed companies whose core business is Digital Health and Telehealth under NeuraCap's industry classification, subject to a $100M market-capitalisation floor so that very small, loosely related names cannot dominate the movers and statistics. Companies covered: Akso Health Group (AHG), AMN Healthcare Services, Inc. (AMN), American Well Corporation (AMWL), Astrana Health, Inc. (ASTH), Beta Bionics, Inc. (BBNX), Concentra Group Holdings Parent, Inc. (CON), Evommune, Inc. (EVMN), Hinge Health, Inc. (HNGE), LifeMD, Inc. (LFMD), Omada Health (OMDA), Option Care Health, Inc. (OPCH), PACS Group, Inc. (PACS), Teladoc Health, Inc. (TDOC), WW International, Inc. (WW). 2 names below the floor were excluded from the statistics: DCGO, DRIO.
How the moves and statistics are computed
Each company's period move is the change in closing price from the last close before the window to the last close inside it (close-to-close). The sector median is the median of those moves across the covered names; the index return is computed the same way for the S&P 500 over the same dates. The largest single-day move inside the window is shown for each mover. Movers are the largest gainers and losers by period move; the attribution cards prefer movers whose in-window record explains the move. Movers carry the valuation tier assigned in the standing sector study (the latest NeuraCap sector outlook) where that study rated them.
Events, news and how a move is attributed
Company events are the 8-K filings made inside the window; news items are publisher-sourced headlines for the window, admitted in a fixed order of reliability: SEC filings first, then company press releases and investor-relations communications, then established outlets (Reuters, CNBC, The Wall Street Journal, Barron's and peers). Video and social platforms are never used. A move is linked to an event only when the event falls inside the window and only in calibrated language; where nothing in the record explains a move, the update says so rather than speculating. Every event links to its source.
Transactions in the window and the trailing record
Transactions are taken from SEC filings by announcement date; 0 were announced inside the window. The trailing record of 40 recorded transactions provides the reference multiples (EV over last-twelve-month revenue or EBITDA at announcement, as disclosed). A value whose own citation describes something other than the price paid is not shown as the deal value; transactions where the acquirer and the target are the same entity are treated as reorganisations and excluded.
Sources
Prices and index levels are market data through September 28, 2026; filings are the companies' SEC filings on EDGAR; press releases are the companies' own; other news items are from the established outlets named on each card; Treasury yields are published by the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Every figure and every event in the update links to its record.
Interpretation and important notice
'Why it matters', 'why the deal happened' and the what-it-means page are NeuraCap analytical views drawn from the recorded evidence, labelled as such. The update is informational: it is not investment advice, not a recommendation to buy or sell any security and not an offer of any kind.
This report is published for information only. It is not a recommendation to buy or sell any security, an offer or solicitation, an appraisal or a fairness opinion, and no fiduciary relationship is created by reading it.
