Company Report

DaVita's Outlook Looks Solid Despite Obesity Drug Threat

After selling DaVita Medical Group in 2019, DaVita has focused on providing services to end-stage renal disease, or ESRD, patients primarily in the United States, although its international footprint is expanding organically and through acquisitions. Over several decades, DaVita has built the largest network of dialysis clinics in the US, and although covid-19-related mortality and labor pressures cut into its profits in recent years, we see brighter days ahead for the firm despite some challenges emerging on the obesity drug front.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

After recent covid mortality challenges and obesity drug expansion, the ESRD patient population may grow at a healthy rate in the US and around the globe for the long run, which should benefit DaVita.

Bears

Potential US healthcare policy changes could reduce industry profitability if insurance coverage shifts away from employer-based plans and if Medicare reimbursement rates aren't changed significantly.

The firm operates over 3,000 facilities worldwide, mostly in the us, and treats about 250,000 patients globally each year. Government payers dominate us dialysis reimbursement. DaVita receives about two thirds of us sales at government (primarily Medicare) reimbursement rates, with the remainder coming from commercial insurers. While commercial insurers represent only about 10% of the us patients treated, they represent nearly all of the profits generated by DaVita in the us dialysis business.
