BrightSpring Health Services Inc

BrightSpring presented at the Wells Fargo Healthcare Conference a markedly accelerated EBITDA growth in the pharmacy segment (near 40% in 2025, >40% in H1 2026) and about 20% organic EBITDA growth in the provider business, supported by the integration of Amedisys LHC. Management highlighted investments in automation, AI and M&A as well as reduced leverage (near 2x EBITDA), which creates room for further acquisitions. The company expects 2026 to see the largest headwinds from IRA drug-price negotiations (around $15 million EBITDA impact), with a much smaller effect in 2027, and sees long-term tailwinds from LDD contracts, generic switches and expansion in the infusion and services business. » Mere på de.investing.com
