What the filing says
Bright Horizons reported Q3 2026 revenue of $841.5M (+5% YoY) but took a $290M goodwill impairment charge in full-service centers (primarily Australia operations), resulting in a GAAP net loss of $230.7M ($4.76 loss per share). On an adjusted basis, net income was $87.5M and diluted adjusted EPS was $1.80 (+15% YoY). The company repurchased 7.7M shares for $557.7M in the first nine months of 2026 (vs. 0.9M shares for $106M in prior year) and updated 2026 guidance to $3.07B revenue and $4.98–$5.03 adjusted EPS.
Why this rating
Goodwill impairment of $296M (9M) is 4.2% of market cap; material but non-cash and addressable. Adjusted operating performance stable; back-up care +13%. Share buybacks tripled, reducing float by ~15%. Australian business deterioration is structural concern. Event is moderate—valuation impact but underlying operations resilient.
