Furthermore, according to the comprehensive report, the opinions of $Owens & Minor (OMI.US)$'s main analysts recently are as follows:
Owens & Minor's Q3 results presented a combination of expectations and variability, with revenues aligning with projections but segment profitability showing inconsistency. The company is actively addressing its eligibility backlog, which stems from the Change hack incident.
The company's third-quarter performance, which surpassed expectations, was counterbalanced by a reduction in the profitability outlook for fiscal year 2024 alongside concerns regarding negative free cash flow.
The company experienced a mixed quarter, with notable EBIT growth in the Patient Direct segment contrasting with weaker performance in Product & Health Services. The standout for the quarter was the robust operating margin observed in Patient Direct. However, there is a growing concern regarding margin pressure in medical distribution, which raises further questions about competitive movements within the industry and brings about a more cautious stance on the outlook for margin progression leading into 2025.
