Surgery Partners posts narrower Q3 loss and lifts merger price to $25 per share

Surgery Partners reported a net loss of $21.1 million, or $0.16 per share, for Q3 2026 on revenue of $815.3 million, a slight improvement from the prior year. The company also announced that the pending cash merger with HealthSpan Partners has been revised to $25 per share, raising the total enterprise value to about $6 billion and targeting a closing in Q1 2027. The earnings beat the consensus EPS estimate by $0.04, supporting the stock’s modest post‑earnings rally.

The higher merger consideration increases the cash payout to shareholders, improving the deal’s economics. The earnings beat may sustain short‑term buying pressure as investors price in the upgraded cash offer.
