Top Insights
Annualized revenue growth of 32.9% over the last two years is above its five-year trend, suggesting accelerating demand.
Admissions reached 28,941 in Q4 with 12.5% year-on-year growth, lower than revenue growth, indicating the company benefited from price increases.
Analysts expect revenue to grow 22.4% over the next 12 months, a deceleration versus recent years but still commendable.
Demographic tailwinds and healthcare delivery shifts favor growth through organic expansion and acquisitions, with operational efficiencies enhancing margins and profitability.
