Our Take on AMN Healthcare
AMN Healthcare’s dismal top-line performance in third-quarter 2025 was disappointing. The decline in all its segmental revenues during the reported quarter was worrying. The contraction of both margins does not bode well. AMN Healthcare expects to register a decline in its overall top line and the majority of its segments in the fourth quarter of 2025, which is concerning.
However, AMN Healthcare exited the quarter with better-than-expected results. The uptick in the Allied revenues and Locum tenens revenues was encouraging. Management expects AMN to register a strong sequential volume growth for travel nursing in the fourth quarter on the back of a rebound in staffing orders in the third quarter and higher year-over-year winter order volume. This raises our optimism about the stock.
