Upturn Advisory & Investor View for SGRY

11/06/2026: SGRY (1-star) has a low Upturn Star Rating. Not recommended to BUY.

Surgery Partners Inc is a healthcare services company that primarily operates a nationwide network of ambulatory surgery centers and surgical hospitals. The company benefits from the secular shift of surgical procedures toward lower-cost outpatient environments, which supports its organic growth story. While the company maintains a leading position through its physician-partnership model, it faces material risks related to its significant debt load and the potential for regulatory changes in healthcare reimbursement. It may suit growth-oriented investors interested in the outpatient surgery trend. However, investors should monitor its ability to manage leverage and successfully integrate acquisitions in a competitive healthcare landscape.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
SGRY receives a 3-star rating based on the available scored pillars. The rating is constrained by soft unit economics, and limited analyst upside.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
SGRY has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with moderate financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong earnings growth (+53.7%) and solid cash generation (FCF margin 5.9%) are partially offset by moderate revenue growth (+6.2%), weak profitability (net margin -2.4%), modest insider ownership of 1.82%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
SGRY's financial health is supported by moderate cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (5.9% of revenue). Profitability is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Earnings growth is SGRY's strongest growth driver at +53.7% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, while revenue growth (+6.2%, moderate) and free-cash-flow growth (-6.7%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 129.4% and approximately 45.6% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 1.82% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

Jupiter Topco LLC 10.77%
Pentwater Capital Management LP 9.02%
UBS Group AG 6.65%
BlackRock Inc 4.84%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
SGRY generates approximately $231 of gross profit, $118 of operating income, and $59 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Soft margins explain the 2-star rating, with weak cash conversion and soft capital efficiency.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 15.40%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
SGRY has a High Volatility Profile profile. Elevated volatility is the primary drawback.
