Trevor Romeo has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors affecting Cross Country Healthcare’s current situation. The termination of the acquisition deal with Aya Healthcare, attributed to prolonged antitrust reviews and declining earnings, has left Cross Country to continue as an independent entity. Despite this setback, the company is expected to refocus on operational efficiency and capitalize on its strong balance sheet, which is free of debt and bolstered by a significant cash reserve.
While Cross Country’s nontravel business segments, particularly homecare, have shown robust growth, the overall recovery in core travel nurse and allied trends remains uncertain. The company’s financial stability provides it with the flexibility to explore share buybacks, internal investments, or potential acquisitions. Additionally, Cross Country’s brand and financial position could make it an attractive candidate for future mergers or acquisitions, although industry demand challenges persist.
In another report released on November 19, Oppenheimer also maintained a Hold rating on the stock with a $0.00 price target.
