Upturn Advisory & Investor View for OPCH

09/17/2026: OPCH (1-star) has a low Upturn Star Rating. Not recommended to BUY.

Option Care Health is a leading independent provider of home and alternate-site infusion services in the United States. The company has a stable business model, benefiting from the long-term healthcare trend of shifting care from hospitals to the home. Its primary strengths include a broad national network and established payer relationships, which support consistent revenue growth. Investors should monitor competitive risks from vertically integrated insurance firms and sensitivity to healthcare reimbursement policies. Option Care Health is generally suited for growth-oriented investors looking for exposure to secular healthcare trends, though the lack of a dividend means it is less appropriate for pure income-focused portfolios.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

OPCH receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by soft unit economics, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

OPCH has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with moderate financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid revenue growth (+13.0%) is partially offset by slightly negative earnings growth (-2.0%), soft cash generation (FCF margin 3.8%), soft profitability (net margin 3.7%).

Financial Health Rating

OPCH's financial health is supported by solid cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (3.8% of revenue). Profitability is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

Revenue growth is OPCH's strongest growth driver at +13.0% FY2025 versus FY2024 (solid, 4 stars). By comparison, while earnings growth (-2.0%, slightly negative) and free-cash-flow growth (-24.5%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

Institutional ownership is 108.8% and approximately 98.6% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 1.28% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

Top 5 Institutional Investors

BlackRock Inc 13.28%
Wellington Management Company LLP 7.87%
Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC 5.38%
Fuller & Thaler Asset Management Inc 4.76%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 4.68%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

OPCH generates approximately $181 of gross profit, $60 of operating income, and $38 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Strong cash conversion and healthy margins support the rating, although capital efficiency remains below the highest tier.

Economic Dimensions

Effective Tax Rate: 26.62%

Quantitative Style Profile

OPCH has a liquid, relatively low-volatility profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
