EchoIQ (ASX:EIQ), an AI cardiac diagnostics company, has polarised fund managers after an extraordinary share price surge. In September 2026, Plato Investment Management disclosed that EchoIQ was its largest short position after the shares rose more than 870%. In contrast, NAOS described its technology as genuinely effective at improving cardiology decision-making, citing a data advantage and deployment at Mount Sinai, and Wilson Asset Management made it its second-largest holding after Pro Medicus provided financial and operational backing. EchoIQ operates in the Information Technology sector within the Software industry, and Thesis Tracker has captured 10 comments from 4 fund managers, including Plato, NAOS, Wilson Asset Management and SG Hiscock. Founded in 2010 and based in Sydney, EchoIQ develops artificial intelligence software that analyses echocardiograms to detect heart conditions such as aortic stenosis and heart failure, built on one of the world's largest echocardiogram databases.
Company figures as of 15 Oct 2026. For information only.
Fund managers including Cadence Capital, Wilson Asset Management, NAOS Asset Management, SG Hiscock & Company and Plato Investment Management have invested in EchoIQ Ltd (ASX:EIQ).
Wilson Asset Management and NAOS highlight FDA approval for its heart failure software, a database of more than 20 million echocardiogram records, deployment at Mount Sinai, a research collaboration with Mayo Clinic and backing from Pro Medicus to accelerate commercialisation.
Plato Investment Management held EchoIQ as its largest short position, betting the shares would fall after an 872% rally, highlighting valuation and speculation risk. Commercial adoption and revenue growth still need to justify the market value.
