About Covista

Covista Inc. helps people become nurses, doctors, and veterinarians. The company teaches students in classrooms and online across five schools. Its programs help graduates fill roles in the healthcare workforce.

What Does Covista Offer?

  • Chamberlain: Nursing and health profession degrees delivered online and at 24 campuses; generated $750.2 million of revenue in fiscal year 2026.
  • Walden: Online certificates and degrees for working professionals in various fields; generated $804.9 million of revenue in fiscal year 2026.
  • Medical and Veterinary: Medical and veterinary science degrees from three distinct institutions; generated $398.9 million of revenue in fiscal year 2026.

Recent Strategic Steps

  • Refinanced its Term Loan B in March 2026 for a principal amount of $510 million.
  • Authorized a new sixteenth share repurchase program in Dec. 2025 for $750 million.
  • Increased its revolving credit facility commitments to $500 million in Aug. 2025.
  • Repurchased over 2.4 million shares of common stock in fiscal year 2026.

Why Covista Stands Out

Covista is the largest healthcare educator in the U.S. with 100,000 students and an alumni network of 400,000. It focuses on addressing the national healthcare workforce shortage through a strategy of operational excellence and technology focus.

Results by the Numbers

  • Revenue was $1,954.1 million in fiscal year 2026, up 9.3% year over year.
  • Net income was $251.6 million in fiscal year 2026, up 6.1% year over year.

  • Adjusted net income was $294.7 million in fiscal year 2026, up 15.3% year over year.
  • Net cash from operating activities reached $470.8 million in fiscal year 2026.

The Bottom Line

Covista has evolved into a scaled provider of specialized healthcare and professional education. Its shift toward medical and nursing training helps address critical and persistent shortages in the American healthcare labor market.
