AI Summary
AMN's thesis has shifted to proving that margin recovery and workforce-platform expansion can translate into durable free cash flow: the shares look inexpensive on recovering EBITDA, but investors should wait for positive operating cash flow and deleveraging before underwriting a structural rerating.
