The company will retain capital to fund ongoing operations, innovation in its product lines, and strategic investments that capitalize on growing global demand for medical supplies and healthcare services.<\/p>\n<p>Wall Street and institutional investors now face critical questions about Medline&#8217;s long-term trajectory.
