Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Ryan Buck became president in January 2026, giving Ethos a dedicated operator for expansion.
  • Ethos expects at least 255 house officers by summer 2026, strengthening specialist supply.
  • NVA says Ethos is preparing for an IPO within two to three years, creating upside optionality.

What critics are saying
