BrightSpring Health Services shares rose after the company reported first-quarter results above Wall Street estimates and raised full-year guidance.
The stock was up 15% to $20.60 on Friday and is up about 21% this year.
BrightSpring, which has pharmacy services and health provider services focused on senior and specialty populations, said revenue rose 26% to $2.88 billion. Analysts polled by FactSet expected $2.71 billion. Adjusted earnings per share rose to 19 cents from 9 cents, while analysts expected 9 cents.
The company said all figures exclude the community living business and the effects of any future closed acquisitions. BrightSpring said in January that it would sell the community living business to Sevita for $835 million in cash consideration.
BrightSpring said it expects 2025 revenue of $12 billion to $12.5 billion. In March, it increased its outlook to the range of $11.6 billion to $12.1 billion, from $11.5 billion to $12 billion.
