Guardian Pharmacy Services (GRDN-US)
GRDN: LTC pharmacy (ALF-focused) w/ 14-15% mkt share, ~50 facilities. HSD% organic growth (aging demo, share from struggling mom+pops & bankrupt Omnicare) + MSD-HSD% M&A growth. Margin expansion to 10% from 8.6% as recent acquired/opened facilities (20% of base) ramp. Sticky, capital-light biz: >$120M EBITDA on $55M net PP&E. Decentralized model drives retention. Omnicare bankruptcy = major upside catalyst via cheap M&A or organic growth from closures. EPS growth 20-25%+ as leverage over D&A, buybacks. At 25x FY26 P/E (~$31), expect TSR ~20-25% over 5-10yr. IRA Part D concerns now resolved.
