Bausch & Lomb is one of the largest vision care companies in the U.S. Bausch spun off from its former parent company, Bausch Health, in 2022 and it now operates in three segments: vision care, surgical, and ophthalmic pharmaceuticals.
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.
Bausch will face margin pressures from upcoming losses of exclusivity on its pharmaceuticals, and this might hinder its efforts to raise margins to a level comparable with that of its close competitors.
