BLCO.TO shares closed at C$28.56 on October 28, up 15.53% for the day and at the supplied 52-week high. For Canadian investors, the results point to improving operations. But the company’s negative trailing-twelve-month EPS and profit margin remain important considerations.
Investor takeaway: The quarter brought a clear adjusted EPS beat, higher revenue and raised full-year revenue guidance. Still, one strong report doesn’t erase trailing-twelve-month EPS of -US$0.68 or a -3.21% profit margin. Investors should weigh the progress against valuation expectations and the gap between the share price and the average analyst target.
US$0.34 adjusted EPS
Adjusted EPS came in 54.5% above the US$0.22 calendar estimate and nearly double the US$0.18 reported a year earlier. Revenue rose 7% year over year to US$1.375 billion. Bausch + Lomb also raised its full-year revenue guidance to US$5.45 billion–US$5.55 billion.
Bull case
Adjusted EPS rose to US$0.34 from US$0.18 a year earlier, while revenue grew 7% to US$1.375 billion. The company also raised its 2026 revenue outlook to US$5.45 billion–US$5.55 billion. Shares finished above their 50-day and 200-day moving averages, reflecting strong recent momentum.
Bear case
Bausch + Lomb is still loss-making on a trailing-twelve-month basis, with EPS of -US$0.68 and a -3.21% profit margin in the supplied fundamentals. The average analyst target of C$25.08 is 12.2% below the last close of C$28.56. After the recent rise, the shares may be more vulnerable if results or expectations fall short.
