Description: BHC Bausch Health Companies November 11, 2025
Bausch Health Companies Inc. (NYSE:BHC) is a diversified specialty pharma and medical-device firm headquartered in Laval, Canada. It markets products across gastroenterology, hepatology, neurology, dermatology, generic and OTC medicines, aesthetic devices, and eye-care solutions. The business is organized into five segments: Salix (GI therapies), International (branded, generic, OTC, and aesthetic devices outside North America), Solta Medical (aesthetic devices), Diversified (neurology, dermatology, generics, dentistry), and Bausch + Lomb (vision-care, surgical and ophthalmic pharmaceuticals).
As of FY 2023, BHC generated roughly $2.5 billion in revenue, with an adjusted EBITDA margin near 15 % and net debt of about $5.3 billion, reflecting its capital-intensive acquisition strategy. Key economic drivers include an aging global population that fuels demand for chronic-disease treatments (especially GI and eye-care), continued growth in the OTC self-care market, and pricing pressure from generic competition. The company’s pipeline features several late-stage generic GI products and new ophthalmic formulations, which could improve margin expansion if successfully launched.
