Bausch + Lomb: Even Though Growth Continues, I Don't See A Way Higher
Summary Bausch + Lomb delivers strong revenue growth and improving profitability, but the share price remains in fair value territory, warranting a 'Hold' rating. BLCO's Vision Care segment, driven by Lumify and SiHy Daily lenses, is a key growth engine with new product launches planned through 2029. Pharmaceuticals and Surgical segments show robust sales and profit gains, supported by innovative products like MIEBO, XIIDRA, and enVista Envy. Management raised 2026 revenue guidance to $5.42–$5.52 billion and EBITDA to $1.01–$1.06 billion, but valuation is not compelling versus peers. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Summary Bausch + Lomb reported solid Q4 and full-year 2024 earnings, with CEO Brent Saunders highlighting positives while avoiding the critical issue of Bausch Health's potential sale of its 88% stake. The company's performance review for 2024 was strong, but the future share price trajectory hinges on whether Bausch Health will divest its majority ownership. Investors are closely watching Bausch Health's decision, as it remains the key factor influencing Bausch + Lomb's market valuation and investor sentiment.

Summary Bausch Health Companies Inc.'s debt burden remains a critical issue, with over $21 billion in long-term debt, making a sale of Bausch + Lomb Corporation a potential solution. Bausch + Lomb's Q3 performance showed revenue growth and a shift to net income, driven by new products like Xiidra and Miebo. Despite bankruptcy rumors, major institutional investors like Carl Icahn and Paulson & Co. suggest strategic moves could prevent such an outcome. Both Bausch Health and Bausch + Lomb retain “Buy” ratings due to potential debt resolution strategies and promising growth metrics, respectively.

Summary Bausch + Lomb stock has rebounded since January, but still offers value, especially with potential takeover interest and a solid balance sheet. BLCO shares trade at a reasonable premium to forward earnings, with a current ratio of 1.66, providing flexibility despite recent unprofitability. Risks include potential failure of takeover, economic downturns, inflation, and majority ownership by BHC, which could affect independent operations. I rate Bausch + Lomb stock a buy, given its decent deal relative to book value and potential for market recognition or acquisition premium.

Summary Bausch + Lomb (BLCO) is a company with entrenched brands but poor recent financial performance. The company issued debt to acquire Dry Eye Disease [DED] drug Xiidra, hoping to ramp revenue to a more sensible level given their high fixed costs. The acquisition is not going well. Despite deploying substantial marketing expenses, Xiidra's revenue is mediocre and declining. However, BLCO also owns DED drug Miebo, a drug with tremendous potential.
