Tempus AI (NASDAQ:TEM) exceeded analyst expectations for both Q1 earnings per share and revenue, demonstrating robust financial performance.
The healthcare AI company reported significant revenue growth, consistently beating estimates, but remains unprofitable with a negative P/E ratio.
Despite carrying a higher debt-to-equity ratio, Tempus AI exhibits strong short-term liquidity, indicated by its healthy current ratio.

Tempus AI (NASDAQ:TEM) is a healthcare technology company that uses artificial intelligence to analyze medical and clinical data. The company aims to help doctors personalize patient care. On May 5th, 2026, Tempus AI reported its first-quarter financial results, which showed better-than-expected performance in both earnings and revenue.

As highlighted by Zacks, Tempus AI announced earnings per share (EPS) of -$0.13, which is an improvement over the analyst consensus estimate of -$0.21. This result also shows progress compared to the loss of $0.24 per share from the same quarter a year ago. The company has now surpassed consensus earnings estimates in three of the last four quarters.

The company also posted revenues of $348.12 million, beating the estimated $345.44 million. This represents significant growth from the $255.74 million in revenue recorded in the prior-year period. Notably, Tempus AI has successfully topped revenue estimates in all four of its most recent quarterly reports, showing consistent sales performance.

Despite beating estimates, Tempus AI is not yet profitable. This is shown by its negative trailing price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of -31.93. A negative P/E ratio means a company has had negative earnings, or a net loss, over the past year. This is further supported by a negative earnings yield of -3.13%.

Looking at its financial health, Tempus AI has a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.96, which indicates it carries more debt than equity. However, the company shows a strong ability to meet its short-term financial obligations. This is demonstrated by its current ratio of 3.31, a measure of a company's ability to pay its immediate debts.
