For the full year, analysts expect UHS to report EPS of $19.43, up 17% from $16.61 in fiscal 2024. Furthermore, its EPS is expected to grow 8.9% year-over-year to $21.16 in fiscal 2026.
UHS has declined marginally over the past 52 weeks, lagging behind the S&P 500 Index's ($SPX) 13% return over the same time frame. However, it has outpaced the Health Care Select Sector SPDR Fund's (XLV) 6.3% downtick over the same time period.
On Apr. 28, UHS released its Q1 results, and its shares closed down marginally in the following trading session. The company's overall revenue improved 6.7% year-over-year to $4.1 billion but fell short of the consensus estimates by nearly 1%. Meanwhile, on the earnings front, due to favorable pricing and margin improvement, the company's adjusted EPS surged 30.8% year-over-year to $4.84 and surpassed the analyst estimates by 11%.
Wall Street analysts are moderately optimistic about UHS' stock, with a "Moderate Buy" rating overall. Among 19 analysts covering the stock, eight recommend "Strong Buy," and 11 advise 'Hold.' The mean price target for UHS is $226.19, which indicates a 22.6% potential upside from the current levels.
