Omada goes public in second recent digital health IPO
This story was originally published on Healthcare Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Healthcare Dive newsletter. Omada Health went public Friday, marking the second recent digital health IPO after a dry spell for the sector. The digital chronic condition management company opened at $23 per share, a 21% bump over its public offering price of $19 per share. Omada's debut comes on the heels of virtual musculoskeletal company Hinge Health's IPO last month. 'I think it is definitely a promising bellwether for the industry,' John Beadle, co-founder and managing partner of Aegis Ventures, told Healthcare Dive. Omada, which was founded in 2011 and has raised hundreds of millions of dollars in venture capital funding, offers digital management programs for conditions like diabetes, obesity and hypertension. Care teams also work with patients to build treatment plans and equip users with connected devices like blood pressure cuffs or digital scales. The company filed to go public in May. Now, Omada is trading on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol 'OMDA,' having raised $150 million in its IPO. The firm's public offering price of $19 was at the midpoint of the expected range it released Thursday. Omada's IPO comes as the digital health sector has seen few public offerings in recent years. A surge of companies notched public exits in 2021, but the number has declined significantly in recent years. Many digital health companies that went public during the boom — particularly ones that used mergers with special purpose acquisition companies — performed poorly, and may have been better off as strategic M&A targets, Beadle said. However, the industry seemed poised for more companies to make the leap this year, and their performance could push others to follow in their footsteps, experts told Healthcare Dive late last year. Now, two digital health companies have gone public in recent weeks. Hinge debuted on the New York Stock Exchange in May, opening 23% above its public offering price. Still, the sector isn't seeing a flood of digital health companies moving to go public like in 2021, Beadle said. 'I don't think there's that many companies that are ready and have the operational maturity, growth trajectory [and] outcomes that Hinge and Omada do,' he said. 'But I think both companies were exceptionally well prepared to do well when they went public.' Though Hinge had given back most of its early post-IPO gains by the time of Omada's pricing, its performance still provided a 'good tailwind' for the chronic conditions management firm, Edward Best, co-chair of the capital markets practice at Willkie Farr & Gallagher, said via email. Still, larger macroeconomic conditions will also impact whether more digital health companies decide to make the leap to the public markets. Some technology companies decided to delay their IPOs this spring after tariffs announced by President Donald Trump roiled the markets. Stability is key to the IPO market, as investors will likely choose safer investments during periods of volatility, Best said. Companies need to think about their own operations and readiness to go public as well as broader conditions. 'The IPO market has periods when the window is more open than others. A company that is ready and wants or needs to go public when the window is open should certainly take a long hard look within,' he said. 'Waiting too long could mean missing the window.'

England U21s' James Beadle confident he'll be a European champion… even though he admits he DESERVED to get dropped
ENGLAND U21 goalie James Beadle believes he'll be a European champion - despite admitting he DESERVED to be dropped at Sheffield Wednesday.

And he is adamant that his confidence has not been rocked by the fact that Owls boss Danny Rohl decided to axe him for the final eight games after his performances dipped. Beadle said: 'Overall it was a big learning experience to grow as a player and grow as a person. A lot of things happened, good games, bad games, but overall just a good time of improvement for me. 'Towards the end of my time at Wednesday I don't think I really performed to my best for whatever reason. Now after taking a step back I understand why and in this tournament and looking ahead I know what I need to do to be at my best more consistently.' The refreshingly honest stopper continued: 'Just going through clips, going through games, and I just don't think I performed to my capabilities,' he added. 'I know how good I am, I know I can perform at that level, and in the future I know what I need to do to stay more at my level. 'Sometimes you've got to take a step back to properly look at it and that's when I came out of the team. It was really hard to take at the time but when you take a step back and realise how I was actually performing, it is what it is. 'I don't really go on social media or anything, I try to live in my own bubble, but at the time when results aren't going well and you aren't performing at the level you can you know you're going to get criticised. I have no issue being criticised if I know I'm not performing to the level I can.' Beadle is now focused firmly on the Euros - and he insists that Lee Carsley's squad can match anybody at the tournament as the Young Lions look to secure back-to-back Euro success. He added: 'We're at least on par if not better when you look at the talent in this squad. We can definitely compete and try to turn them over. 'It's been a long build-up now to the tournament and the main goal for us is winning. As a country now we want to start winning things and it starts at youth ages like Under-21s so that's what we want to do.' England kick-off their Euro campaign against the Czech Republic on Thursday. They then face Slovenia three days later and finish the group stage against Germany on Wednesday 18 June with all of the Young Lions' matches being broadcast on Channel 4.

Michelle Beadle fired from SiriusXM after Stephen A. Smith drama
Michelle Beadle's time with SiriusXM has come to a close. SiriusXM officially parted ways with Beadle and Cody Decker of the 'Beadle and Decker' radio show on Thursday, according to The Athletic on Thursday. 'And we'd like to thank the callers who made the last couple of days an absolute blast!!' Beadle posted on X, confirming the news. 'Truly. You don't usually get such love on your way out. Security usually walks ya to the door. You guys rule. 6 hours of how you felt. And you all were heard! Drinks on me…@Decker6 Advertisement Michelle Beadle on the set of NBA Countdown in 2016. Scott Clarke / ESPN Images The network's decision comes just days after it decided to replace Beadle and Decker's time slot with a show hosted by longtime ESPN anchor Stephen A. Smith, a move Beadle felt 'blindsided' by. During the show Wednesday, Beadle did not hold back when she opened the segment by acknowledging the network's move. Advertisement 'Welcome to the 'Lame Duck and Who Knew?' show here,' Beadle said as Decker yelled 'fired' in the background. 'All I ask is to be treated with respect,' Beadle continued. 'Here we are, we're going to do our shows because we're contractually obligated to be here.' Despite remaining mostly cordial during her show, Beadle was a lot more blunt with her thoughts when speaking to Front Office Sports. 'It's a reminder: We're just all pieces of s–t to someone. If you forgot, there it is,' Beadle said during an interview on Wednesday. Stephen A. Smith, NBA analyst for ESPN, looks on before the Knicks Game 6 series-clinching win over the Celtics at Madison Square Garden. Getty Images Advertisement ''The Hollywood Reporter' comes out — and there's his face. I was like, 'I should have known.' That was just kind of gross. I don't care that we're being replaced or what have you. It happens all the time. But a little respect would have been nice. Good Lord. I was totally blindsided. Just really embarrassed, to be honest.' Beadle, who left ESPN in 2019, then took some shots at Smith, saying that she had problems with the show 'First Take' for years. 'I don't respect his work. He doesn't like me,' she said. 'This goes back to the Ray Rice stuff. He made some really piggish comments on the air. I responded; he got suspended for like two weeks. I think that was sort of the beginning of the end for anything,' she said. 'I just don't respect him. I think he gets things wrong all the time. I'm not talking about opinions; those can never be wrong. But factually, when you spread yourself so thin, it's hard to be right. Not a fan.'

Michelle Beadle Slams Stephen A. Smith After He Takes Over Her Radio Timeslot
Michelle Beadle just went scorched Earth on her former ESPN co-worker Stephen A. Smith, whose news this week that he's taking over her SiriusXM Radio timeslot this fall "blindsided" her because she found out via a story in a Hollywood trade magazine. Beadle, a former host of ESPN's Get Up and the popular but since-canceled SportsNation, told Front Office Sports that New York Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau was more gracefully fired than what she experienced after learning about Smith's new gig. "The Hollywood Reporter comes out—and there's his face. I was like, I should have known. That was just kind of gross,' she told FOS. 'I don't care that we're being replaced or what have you. It happens all the time. But a little respect would have been nice. Good Lord. I was totally blindsided. Just really embarrassed, to be honest."Smith appeared on The Howard Stern Show on Wednesday and announced his two new shows: a weekday sports show from 1-3 p.m. ET. Smith is replacing Beadle in that timeslot, a timeslot Beadle and her partner, Cody Decker, enjoyed for two years. Smith's also getting a weekly show that covers sports, politics and pop culture. "In fairness, we do need more coverage of 'Jamal Williams' and other fun 'facts,'" Beadle ripped Smith in a subtweet. Beadle and Smith have not gotten along ever since Smith essentially came to Ray Rice's defense amid the NFL star's 2014 brutal assault on his then-fiancee, which was caught on elevator security footage and first shared by TMZ. Beadle, at the time, tweeted her disgust at Smith's poor take on First Take. Smith was later suspended for that take and he apologized. Beadle, whose contract at SiriusXM runs through August, admits "there's no love lost" between her and Smith. Then she really laid into him."I don't respect him. I don't respect his work. He doesn't like me. This goes back to the Ray Rice stuff. He made some really piggish comments on the air. I responded; he got suspended for [a week]," Beadle said. "I think that was sort of the beginning of the end for anything. I just don't respect him. I think he gets things wrong all the time. I'm not talking about opinions; those can never be wrong. But factually, when you spread yourself so thin, it's hard to be right. Not a fan.' In the end, Beadle admits that the move boils down to business and the harsh reality that business can also be cruel, even to the most successful and popular figures. 'It's a reminder: We're just all pieces of shit to someone," the former YES Network host says. "If you forgot, there it is.' Michelle Beadle Slams Stephen A. Smith After He Takes Over Her Radio Timeslot first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 5, 2025
