Foolish take

Oracle Investment Management's purchase of additional Teladoc stock suggests the investment firm has a bullish outlook towards the tech-enabled healthcare company. Teladoc represented 2.3% of Oracle's AUM in the second quarter, and that's up to 3.4% in Q3.

Teladoc is one of the early telehealth companies, but that hasn't helped it grow revenue. In Q3, sales are down 2% year over year to $626.4 million. On top of that, its Q3 net loss increased to $49.5 million from a loss of $33.3 million in the prior year.

The rise in net loss was due to a goodwill impairment charge of $12.6 million as a result of the acquisition of Telecare Australia. The gloomy Q3 earnings contributed to Teladoc shares dropping near its 52-week low of $6.35.

While Oracle Investment Management's purchase of additional stock signals a belief that shares will recover, Teladoc's Q3 performance suggests now is not the time to buy. The prudent approach is to see signs of Teladoc's business bouncing back from its declining sales over the next few quarters before deciding to invest.
