Ardent Health reports Q2 EPS 34c vs. 26c last year

Reports Q2 revenue $1.47B vs. $1.37B last year. “Our second quarter results were highlighted by strong top-line growth and margin expansion, driven by executing on our strategic priorities and continuing to build our consumer-first healthcare delivery model that optimizes access and provides care over the course of a patient’s healthcare journey,” stated Marty Bonick, President and Chief Executive Officer of Ardent Health. “Looking ahead, we are well-positioned for continued growth with a strengthened balance sheet and capital structure from the successful completion of our IPO in July. We believe our dedication to improving healthcare in the communities we serve and our balanced growth strategy position us to deliver long-term value for both our patients and shareholders. Fundamentally, we continue to see broad-based demand for healthcare across both inpatient and outpatient settings, while systemic labor cost pressures continue to abate and normalize. This stability enables us to sharpen our strategic focus on growth and improving access to healthcare within our markets.”
