Given that Cano Health didn't make a profit in the last twelve months, we'll focus on revenue growth to form a quick view of its business development.

A Different Perspective
Cano Health shareholders are down 66% for the year, even worse than the market loss of 12%. There's no doubt that's a disappointment, but the stock may well have fared better in a stronger market. It's great to see a nice little 2.0% rebound in the last three months. This could just be a bounce because the selling was too aggressive, but fingers crossed it's the start of a new trend.
