Paragon Care Limited ( (AU:PGC) ) has provided an update.

Paragon Care will cease acting as the primary wholesaler to Ramsay Healthcare’s retail and hospital pharmacy operations from 1 February 2026 after its re-tender bid was undercut by a lower-priced competitor, a contract that added about A$230 million to FY25 revenue but less than 2% to gross margin. Management expects the exit to have an immaterial impact on FY26 earnings as it strips out associated supply chain costs, while the release of roughly A$4.5 million in working capital will be used to pay down debt, reinforcing a strategic focus on higher-margin business, strong underlying healthcare demand and a reported A$1.9 billion in unaudited half-year group revenue.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:PGC) stock is a Hold with a A$0.24 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Paragon Care Limited stock, see the AU:PGC Stock Forecast page.
