Aged-Care Funding Changes Deal Blow to Regis Healthcare -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

Sep 23, 2025

2329 GMT [Dow Jones]--The Australian government's changes to aged-care funding aren't great news for Regis Healthcare. Jefferies says they will likely lead to lower direct care margins. "These latest increases to funding are lower than the expected growth in employee expenses," analyst Vanessa Thomson says. "With baby boomers now entering an already undersupplied sector, we wonder what margin government considers acceptable for aged-care operators." Regis yesterday guided to FY 2026 Ebitda of A$130 million-A$135 million. That was below market expectations. In response, Jefferies cuts its EPS forecasts in FY 2026 and FY 2027 by around 11% each. Its price target falls 15% to A$8.40/share. Regis ended Monday at A$6.80. (david.winning@wsj.com)
