Bulls say / Bears say

Bright Horizons’ board has authorized a new $600 million share repurchase program as of March 9, 2026, replacing the previous $500 million plan, which signals strong free cash flow and management’s confidence.

Back-Up Care revenue rose 12.5% to $145 million in Q1 2026, marking the 16th straight quarter of double-digit growth. Management also raised its full-year Back-Up Care growth forecast to 12%–14%, highlighting the momentum in this higher-margin segment.

Bright Horizons reported $88 million of free cash flow in Q1 2026 and $276 million over the past year, achieving a 106% conversion of adjusted net income, giving the company significant financial flexibility for investments and returns to shareholders.

Bright Horizons has agreed to stop opening new child care centers in New York City and to give up its operating permits for the Columbus Circle location, after reaching a settlement over child abuse, which will limit expansion in this important market until January 30, 2027.

In the fourth quarter of 2025, results included $14.8 million in impairment and lease termination costs linked to facility closures. This led to a 25% decrease in net income and highlights ongoing financial challenges for its full-service segment.

The company’s Australian market continues to be a significant negative, with losses between $20 million and $25 million for the segment, and an estimated 150 basis-point drag on full-service margins from oversupply and declining enrollment.
