Analyst Forecast
Baxter is repairing its balance sheet and portfolio after operational disruption and divestitures. Essential hospital products provide recurring demand, while inflation, quality issues and supply execution constrain margins. Revenue growth alone is insufficient without stronger cash conversion. Recession has limited effect on core care. Debt reduction and consistent manufacturing performance are prerequisites for a credible recovery.
