HCA posted its biggest one-day jump in four years before a single law changed. Wall Street is pricing in relief that needs Congress, a presidential signature, and a December funding fight to survive.

The stocks of big operators in state Medicaid programs, Affordable Care Act markets and hospital groups all jumped.

KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa., Oct. 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Universal Health Services, Inc. (NYSE: UHS) is scheduled to present at the UBS Global Healthcare Conference on November 10, 2026, at 9:30 a.m.

Universal Health Services NYSE: UHS reported third-quarter adjusted earnings per share of $5.22, down 8% from a year earlier, as the company cited favorable acute-care demand, improving behavioral-health volumes and moderating labor pressures but said results fell below its internal expectations after excluding certain items.

Universal Health Services' Q3 earnings fall 8.3% despite revenue growth, as rising costs and Acute Care pricing pressure offset higher patient volumes.

Consolidated Results of Operations, As Reported and As Adjusted – Three-month periods ended September 3 0 , 202 6 and 202 5 : KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa., Oct. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Universal Health Services, Inc. (NYSE: UHS) announced today that its reported net income attributable to UHS was $308.7 million, or $5.22 per diluted share, during the third quarter of 2026, as compared to $373.0 million, or $5.86 per diluted share, during the third quarter of 2025.

Universal Health Services' Q3 revenues are expected to rise on higher patient admissions, but surging operating costs and wage pressures could weigh on earnings growth.

Universal Health Services, Inc. is rated Strong Buy due to undervaluation at 8x forward P/E and resilient earnings growth. Recent guidance cuts reflect mostly temporary challenges, with consolidated revenue and EBITDA still growing across both Acute Care and Behavioral Health segments. Medicaid reimbursement cuts are gradual and manageable, with management repositioning toward outpatient behavioral health and private payors.

Universal Health Services (UHS) doesn't possess the right combination of the two key ingredients for a likely earnings beat in its upcoming report. Get prepared with the key expectations.
