AI Summary
AMN's investment case has shifted to a recovery-validation story: improved staffing demand and earnings leverage create upside, but the stock's rerating depends on proving that profitability converts into recurring free cash flow to reduce its sizable debt load rather than relying on one-off labor-disruption and reserve benefits.
