HealthStream's Q2 revenues up, net income down

HealthStream Inc. reported second-quarter net income of $1.3 million, down 24 percent from $1.7 million a year ago.
Per share, results were 6 cents vs. 8 cents last year. On average, the two analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters expected 4 cents a share for the recent quarter.

Revenues rose 14 percent to $16.7 million. Operating income rose 26 percent to $2.3 million, reflecting mostly the strong revenue growth.
