Ryman Healthcare Limited — Cyborg Score 3/10

Challenged
Medical Care Facilities / Aged Care / Retirement Villages

Strategic Profile

The company owns and operates approximately 40 villages across New Zealand and eight in Australia. However, revenue growth is expected to slow to 1.2% annualized growth through end of 2026, well below historical 13% per annum growth, with the wider industry forecast to grow faster. The company faces headwinds in profitability and competitive positioning within the aged-care sector.

Cyborg Score Rationale

Analysts have downgraded earnings per share and revenue estimates, with forecasts implying worse performance than the wider industry, and price targets have been cut significantly. Current ROE of -13.73% has declined 212.87% from the historical average. The company faces structural operational challenges.

Top Insights

  • Revenue growth forecast of 1.2% for 2026 trails historical 13% CAGR and industry average of 7.1%
