Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

An update from Aveanna Healthcare Holdings ( (AVAH) ) is now available.

Aveanna Healthcare reported strong fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results on March 19, 2026, with Q4 revenue rising 27.4% year over year to $662.5 million and net income jumping to $178.8 million, while adjusted EBITDA grew 54.0% to $85.0 million. For the full year ended January 3, 2026, revenue increased 20.2% to $2.43 billion, net income swung to a $225.0 million profit from a prior-year loss, and adjusted EBITDA surged 74.8% to $320.9 million, driven largely by growth in its private duty services segment.

The company maintained its 2026 guidance for revenue between $2.54 billion and $2.56 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $318 million to $322 million, signaling confidence in its core operations despite not yet factoring in its pending acquisition of Family First Homecare. Aveanna also highlighted solid liquidity and $131.0 million in free cash flow for 2025, although management noted that financing the Family First deal with cash and securitization borrowings is expected to reduce liquidity, underscoring an aggressive yet balance-sheet-conscious expansion strategy in pediatric home care.

The most recent analyst rating on (AVAH) stock is a Hold with a $8.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Aveanna Healthcare Holdings stock, see the AVAH Stock Forecast page.
