Summary · why it matters

The Motley Fool compared HeartFlow and NovoCure and concluded that NovoCure is the better buy for long-term investors in 2026. HeartFlow, which uses AI for non-invasive coronary artery disease diagnosis, reported fiscal 2025 revenue of approximately $176 million, a 40% increase, but a net loss of $116.8 million. NovoCure, which develops Tumor Treating Fields therapy for cancer, generated about $655.4 million in revenue, up 8.3%, with a net loss of nearly $136.2 million. NovoCure's projected fiscal 2026 revenue of $704 million and lower price-to-sales ratio of 2.5x compared to HeartFlow's 15.5x make it the preferred choice despite both companies not expected to generate positive free cash flow until 2028.
