Bright Horizons Q2 Adjusted EPS Jumps 20% to $1.28, Revenue Up 7%
BFAM sits 35% above its 52-week low of $57.63.
Summary
Bright Horizons delivered a strong Q2 on an adjusted basis, with revenue rising 7% to $779M and adjusted EPS surging 20% to $1.28, driven by 19% growth in back-up care and margin expansion in full-service centers. GAAP results were weighed down by $19.1M in impairment charges tied to center closures, pushing GAAP EPS down 17% to $0.79. The company also updated its full-year 2026 guidance, signaling confidence in continued momentum. This follows a Q1 beat and a recent $375M term loan refinancing, painting a picture of operational strength despite isolated market exits. The adjusted outperformance and guidance raise are likely to reinforce the positive narrative around the employer-centric care model.
