Why Do We Think AMN Healthcare Services Will Underperform?

We're sitting this one out for now. Here are three reasons you should be careful with AMN and a stock we'd rather own.

1. Long-Term Revenue Growth Disappoints

Reviewing a company’s long-term sales performance reveals insights into its quality. Any business can experience short-term success, but top-performing ones enjoy sustained growth for years. Over the last five years, AMN Healthcare Services grew its sales at a tepid 2.7% compounded annual growth rate. This fell short of our benchmarks.

2. EPS Trending Down

Analyzing the long-term change in earnings per share (EPS) shows whether a company's incremental sales were profitable – for example, revenue could be inflated through excessive spending on advertising and promotions.

Sadly for AMN Healthcare Services, its EPS declined by 16.9% annually over the last five years while its revenue grew by 2.7%. This tells us the company became less profitable on a per-share basis as it expanded.

3. New Investments Fail to Bear Fruit as ROIC Declines

We like to invest in businesses with high returns, but the trend in a company’s ROIC can also be an early indicator of future business quality.

We like to invest in businesses with high returns, but the trend in a company’s ROIC is what often surprises the market and moves the stock price. Unfortunately, AMN Healthcare Services’s ROIC has decreased significantly over the last few years. We like what management has done in the past, but its declining returns are perhaps a symptom of fewer profitable growth opportunities.

Final Judgment

We see the value of companies making people healthier, but in the case of AMN Healthcare Services, we’re out. That said, the stock currently trades at 9.1× forward P/E (or $18.89 per share). While this valuation is optically cheap, the potential downside is huge given its shaky fundamentals. There are superior stocks to buy right now. We’d recommend looking at a fast-growing restaurant franchise with an A+ ranch dressing sauce.
