Cano Health (NYSE:CANO) stock is taking a beating on Friday after the healthcare company provided a business update in its latest earnings report.
The big news here is Cano Health announcing its plan to explore strategic alternatives. According to it, this could result in the sale of the company, or at least some of its assets and businesses.
To go along with this, Cano Health says that it will exit operations in California, New Mexico, and Illinois by Fall 2023. That comes as it seeks to leave behind non-core assets in an effort to improve its business.
Mark Kent, interim CEO of Cano Health, said this about the plan.
“Cano Health is evaluating strategic interest in the Company to ensure we continue caring for our patients, while maximizing value for our stakeholders. Our mission and vision remain the same, however, the strategy and tactics needed to realize the profitability inherent therein requires a refreshed approach with a solid operating foundation.”
