Eye-care franchise growing revenue 6.5% with rising cash flow, but persistent net losses and $5B debt keep it speculative.

Bausch & Lomb is a global eye-health company (vision care, surgical, pharmaceuticals) with a recognizable franchise and steady top-line growth — FY2025 revenue rose 6.5% to $5.10B, the fourth straight year of growth from $3.77B in FY2021. The problem is that growth has not produced GAAP profit: the company posted a net loss of -$360M (worsening 13.6%) and an operating margin of just 2.2%, with operating income down 30.2% to $113M. Heavy depreciation/amortization ($421M, largely intangibles from its formation) and interest on $5.02B of debt overwhelm the modest operating profit.
