Cross Country Healthcare Inc

The company's capital structure is characterized by a low debt-to-equity ratio of 0.0, indicating a conservative leverage profile. With $108.7 million in cash and equivalents and a current ratio of 3.78, the firm maintains strong liquidity. However, the free cash flow of -$8.6 million suggests operational cash outflows, which may pressure liquidity in the near term. Profitability metrics are weak, with a net loss of $94.9 million and an operating loss of $84.4 million. The return on equity of -29.38% and return on assets of -21.13% indicate poor capital efficiency. Gross profit of $213.6 million represents 20.3% of revenue, below the typical margin for employment services firms, suggesting pricing or cost pressures. Geographic and segment exposure is not explicitly detailed in the available data, but the firm operates primarily in the U.S. healthcare staffing market. Revenue concentration in a single economic sector (Industrials) and business sector (Employment Services) increases vulnerability to sector-specific downturns. Growth trajectory is mixed. While revenue of $1.05 billion is stable, the operating and net losses suggest a challenging operating environment. The firm's free cash flow is negative, and capital expenditures of -$8.16 million indicate ongoing investment. Analysts have issued a mean price target of $11.67, below the current market price of $13.13, reflecting cautious expectations. Risk factors include the firm's negative net income and operating income, which could lead to pressure on liquidity if cash outflows persist. The dilution risk is currently low, with no immediate filing-based flags detected. However, the firm's reliance on a single business model and economic sector increases exposure to macroeconomic shifts. Recent events include the publication of the latest financial data, which shows a net loss and negative operating income. No significant filings or transcripts have been disclosed in the available data, but the firm's performance suggests a need for operational improvements to restore profitability.
