Aveanna raises its 2026 outlook and long-term growth targets as reimbursement gains and preferred payers support expansion.
Aveanna Healthcare Holdings delivered strong Q2 2026 results, beating earnings and revenue estimates and significantly raising full-year EBITDA and revenue guidance. AVAH's valuation remains attractive versus peers, with the lowest forward P/E multiples and leading EBITDA margin, despite a 60% stock price gain since March. Private Duty Services drive 83% of revenues, but gross margins declined across all segments; rapid revenue growth offset margin pressure, yet this trend warrants monitoring.
Aveanna Healthcare NASDAQ: AVAH reported higher second-quarter revenue and adjusted EBITDA, supported by growth across its three operating divisions, improved reimbursement rates, increased volumes and operational efficiencies. The company also raised its full-year outlook and updated its long-term organic growth targets for its Private Duty Services and Home Health and Hospice businesses.
