Encompass Health ( (EHC) ) has provided an update.

On March 9, 2026, Encompass Health entered into a new $1 billion revolving credit agreement with Truist Bank and other lenders, replacing and fully repaying its prior 2022 facility led by Barclays. The new 2026 Credit Agreement extends the maturity to March 9, 2031, lowers the undrawn commitment fee, relaxes certain covenants on investments, debt, liens and restricted payments, removes a 0.10% SOFR interest adjustment, and increases the swingline sublimit to $40 million.

The facility includes a $260 million letter of credit subfacility, an accordion feature that allows substantial incremental term loans or increased revolver capacity subject to leverage tests, and covenants requiring minimum interest coverage of 3.00x and a maximum leverage ratio of 4.50x outside significant acquisitions. As of March 9, 2026, the company had drawn $250 million on the revolver and $53.6 million on the letter of credit subfacility to retire the old credit agreement, and concurrently replaced its Barclays collateral and guarantee arrangements with a new collateral and guarantee agreement under Truist on similar terms, reinforcing its secured financing structure and balance-sheet flexibility.

The most recent analyst rating on (EHC) stock is a Buy with a $118.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Encompass Health stock, see the EHC Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on EHC Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, EHC is a Outperform.

The score is driven primarily by strong earnings-call guidance and operational momentum alongside a meaningfully improved balance sheet, partially offset by the provided financial-statement cash flow weakness and mixed technical signals. Valuation appears reasonable but the low dividend yield limits support.
