ClearBridge Investments made the following comment about Surgery Partners, Inc. (NASDAQ:SGRY) in its Q3 2022 investor letter:
“The overwhelming majority of recent performance headwinds were in health care. Primary detractors Syneos Health (SYNH), Horizon Therapeutics (HZNP) and Surgery Partners, Inc. (NASDAQ:SGRY) were each hurt by distinct issues. Syneos, a leading contract research organization, experienced a slowdown in new business wins from pharmaceutical customers; Horizon saw weaker sales trends for one of its key drugs, Tepezza for thyroid eye disease, while Surgery Partners sold off on concerns that increased summer vacation for doctors would lead to lower patient procedures combined with a fair amount of leverage on its balance sheet.”
