Revenue Outlook: Bausch + Lomb Corp. (BLCO) announced its FY25 revenue outlook, expecting $4.95 billion to $5.05 billion, aligning with analyst estimates of $5.02 billion. This stability suggests consistent performance but may not drive significant price movement.
CEO's Transparency Advocacy: CEO Brent Saunders emphasized the need for pricing transparency in healthcare, drawing comparisons to Elon Musk's approach. While this reflects strong leadership, its direct impact on stock price is unclear.
Product Launch: The launch of the Arise lens fitting system highlights BLCO's commitment to innovation in orthokeratology. This could enhance market positioning but may not immediately affect next week's price.
Given the oversold RSI and nearby support, BLCO may experience a slight rebound. However, resistance levels and limited catalysts suggest modest upside. The stock is expected to trade between $15.50 and $15.80 next week.
Recommendation: Buy at current levels with a target of $15.80, as the stock approaches oversold territory and shows pre-market buying interest.
The price of BLCO is predicted to go up -9.79%, based on the high correlation periods with PLMR. The similarity of these two price pattern on the periods is 96.25%.

As a standalone public company, Bausch now has the ability to freely allocate financial resources to innovate and develop businesses that were underfunded under its former parent company.
With an upcoming launch of multifocal and toric lenses in the Infuse line (daily silicone hydrogels), we expect Bausch to win over some new customers as well as to have its current Bausch lens wearers upgrade.
We expect patents and product superiority of Biotrue eye drops, Lumify, and PreserVision to secure Bausch as a leader in the over-the-counter eye care and supplements space.
