Furthermore, according to the comprehensive report, the opinions of $HCA Healthcare (HCA.US)$'s main analysts recently are as follows:
The performance of HCA Healthcare was anticipated to encounter disruptions due to hurricanes. A 'bigger surprise', however, was the projection for EBITDA and EPS in 2025, which fell below market expectations and ended a streak of strong financial outperformances. Despite the allure of the stock's recent 9% decline, there is a belief that it may enter a phase of consolidation.
HCA Healthcare's third-quarter results demonstrated resilience, overcoming the negative impacts of hurricanes, which are anticipated to persist into the fourth quarter and push full-year 2024 guidance towards the lower end. Despite these ongoing challenges, the company's management anticipates earnings growth in 2025 to meet or exceed its long-term objectives, supported by an admissions growth forecast of 3%-4%, which is considered above the usual trend.
The firm revised its model after evaluating HCA Healthcare's third-quarter results. Despite high anticipations for the quarter, the company delivered a robust underlying performance, evidenced by a 7.1% increase in same-store revenues compared to the previous year's third-quarter comparison of 7.9%.
HCA Healthcare's Q3 results aligned with market expectations, influenced by solid same-store volumes and increased Medicaid DPPs, which balanced out the interruptions caused by hurricanes. Following the earnings announcement, the company's stock experienced a significant drop, which is thought to be a result of projected EBITDA for 2025 slightly trailing market estimates, a market shift in anticipation of the upcoming election, and a perception of high valuation.

hca醫療的表現被預計會受到颶風的干擾。然而，「更大的驚喜」出現在2025年EBITDA和每股收益的預測中，低於市場預期並結束了一系列強勁的財務表現。儘管股價最近下跌了9%，但人們相信它可能會進入一段鞏固階段。
hca醫療的第三季度業績表現出韌性，克服了颶風帶來的負面影響，這種影響預計將持續到第四季度，並將全年2024年的指引壓向較低端。儘管面臨持續的挑戰，公司管理層預計2025年收益增長將達到或超過長期目標，受到3%-4%入院增長預測的支持，這被認爲高於通常的趨勢。
在評估hca醫療第三季度業績後，該公司調整了其模型。儘管對本季度寄予厚望，但公司實現了強勁的基本表現，同店銷售收入同比增長了7.1%，而上一年同期爲7.9%。
hca醫療的Q3業績符合市場預期，受同店銷量穩定和醫療補助DPPs增加的影響，彌補了颶風造成的中斷。在盈利公告後，公司股價大幅下滑，這被認爲是2025年EBITDA預測略低於市場估計、市場在預期即將到來的選舉而發生的轉變以及對高估值的看法的結果。
