Bull points
- In Q1, we saw our margins really where we want them to be, and so our focus is now on volume.
- In fact, in Q1 2026, new admissions, total volume, and total visits all improved sequentially versus Q4 2025. So that is the trend that we would like to see.
- we've seen those rates exceed 25%. And we've also now begun that program in Illinois. Obviously, Illinois Home Health is a little bit earlier for us, but there is great opportunity there and opportunity to continue that pattern.
Bear points
- I think we had guided people to think that's probably not long-term sustainable.
- this year in this cycle, we're back to kind of a, you know, three-ish percent kind of default rate there.
- Organic revenue declined 6.6%.
