Henry Schein ( (HSIC) ) just unveiled an announcement.
On January 10, 2026, Henry Schein’s board appointed Frederick M. Lowery as chief executive officer effective March 2, 2026, expanding the board from 14 to 15 members to add him as a director while long-serving CEO Stanley M. Bergman, who has led the company for 35 years, transitions to the role of non-CEO chairman to oversee a managed leadership handover. Lowery, a 54-year-old industry veteran with more than two decades of healthcare distribution and operational experience at Thermo Fisher Scientific and earlier roles at Maytag and General Motors, has been brought in to drive Henry Schein’s next phase of growth and execution of its BOLD+1 strategy, supported by a substantial employment package, inclusion in an expanded executive severance plan, and by-law changes that formally separate the CEO role from the positions of president and chairman—moves that together signal a deliberate modernization of the company’s governance and leadership structure with potential implications for shareholder value and strategic execution.
The most recent analyst rating on (HSIC) stock is a Buy with a $87.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Henry Schein stock, see the HSIC Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on HSIC Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, HSIC is a Outperform.
The score is driven primarily by steady financial performance with some margin/leverage and cash-conversion constraints, reinforced by strong technical momentum. Valuation is less supportive due to a higher P/E and no dividend, while the latest earnings call added positives through improved margins, strategic execution, and constructive EPS guidance.
