  • Heartflow reported Q3 revenue of $72.9 million, up 57% year over year, and raised its 2026 revenue outlook to $262 million–$264 million, representing 49%–50% growth.
  • Plaque Analysis adoption continued to build: the company raised its 2026 revenue outlook for the product to $36 million–$37 million and expects about 1,300 activated accounts by year-end. Payer coverage reached approximately 82% of U.S. lives.
  • Non-GAAP gross margin rose to 83.8% from 76.8% a year earlier, while the non-GAAP operating loss narrowed to $5 million. Management raised its full-year gross-margin outlook to about 82.5% and reiterated its midterm 85% target and goal of cash-flow profitability by mid-2028.
  • Management highlighted clinical results it believes could support adoption: the propensity-matched DECIDE analysis found fewer major cardiovascular events and heart attacks among patients managed with Plaque Analysis, while the P4 trial found CT-guided PCI planning matched IVUS on its primary outcome and reduced procedure time. The company said the findings strengthen the case for its platform and PCI Navigator.
  • Heartflow plans to expand into high-risk asymptomatic patients through three clinical trials addressing a potential $6 billion opportunity; two are expected to begin enrolling in Q4 2026 and the third in Q1 2027. Management expects to begin reporting data by the end of 2028, so this growth opportunity depends on future evidence and coverage decisions.
