01:15 PM EDT, 08/11/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Stifel Canada says dentalcorp is "strongly" positioned to meet or exceed its full-year 2025 guidance as M&A is tracking above target.

Subsequent to quarter-end, dentalcorp closed acquisitions or signed LOIs that exceed its 2025 target of $25 million of acquired EBITDA, writes analyst Daryl Young. Tthe Canadian Dental Care Plan program has now been fully implemented, and future quarters should see limited to no impact of patient deferrals.

This will effectively be the first time since the start of the pandemic in 2020 that dentalcorp (and the industry) have not had to contend with some form of patient flow irregularity , for example doctor/patient absenteeism from COVID, patient churn related to evolving work-from-home/RTO dynamics, severe post-COVID flu/illnesses and most recently the CDCP implementation.

"We think that this will further solidify the predictable, recurring nature of dentalcorp's earnings."

dentalcorp has a Buy rating and $12.50 target.
