Debbie S. Wang Senior Equity Analyst

Analyst Note

| Debbie S. Wang |

Narrow-moat AMN Healthcare reported fourth-quarter revenue of $631 million, contributing to its 2% full-year organic revenue growth. All three segments exceeded management’s fourth-quarter revenue guidance, leading the company to slightly exceed our revenue expectations.
