Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Sarah James maintains $HCA Healthcare (HCA.US)$ with a buy rating, and adjusts the target price from $315 to $405.
According to TipRanks data, the analyst has a success rate of 60.1% and a total average return of 8.4% over the past year.
Furthermore, according to the comprehensive report, the opinions of $HCA Healthcare (HCA.US)$'s main analysts recently are as follows:
The firm projected some disruptions due to hurricanes but did not foresee the company's 2025 EBITDA and EPS projections falling below street expectations, which is a reversal from a previous period of consistent outperformance. Despite being intrigued by the recent 9% stock decline, the firm suggests that the shares may experience a phase of consolidation going forward.
HCA Healthcare's third-quarter performance managed to withstand the negative impacts of hurricanes, a trend that's anticipated to persist into the fourth quarter and possibly lead to a fiscal year 2024 guidance that aligns with the lower end of expectations. Despite the ongoing challenges posed by these natural disasters, the company's management is projecting earnings growth for 2025 to meet or exceed its long-term objectives, supported by an admissions growth prediction of 3%-4%, which is considered above the usual trend.
Investor expectations were high leading into the third quarter, yet HCA Healthcare's underlying performance remained robust, evidenced by same-store revenues climbing 7.1% despite a strong third-quarter comparison from the previous year at 7.9%.

坎托·菲茨杰拉德分析師Sarah James維持$HCA醫療 (HCA.US)$買入評級，並將目標價從315美元上調至405美元。
根據TipRanks數據顯示，該分析師近一年總勝率為60.1%，總平均回報率為8.4%。
此外，綜合報道，$HCA醫療 (HCA.US)$近期主要分析師觀點如下：
公司預計由於颶風的原因可能會造成一些中斷，但沒有預見到公司2025年的EBITDA和每股收益低於街頭預期，這與之前持續表現優異的時期相反。儘管對最近的股價下跌9%感到驚訝，公司表示股票可能會經歷一段整固階段。
hca醫療的第三季度表現成功抵禦了颶風的負面影響，這一趨勢預計將持續到第四季度，並可能導致2024財年指引與預期較低端一致。儘管自然災害帶來持續挑戰，公司管理層正在預測2025年的盈利增長將符合或超過長期目標，支撐因3%-4%的入院量增長預測而被認爲高於通常趨勢。
投資者對第三季度的預期很高，然而，hca醫療的基本表現仍然強勁，同店銷售額增長了7.1%，儘管與前一年的第三季度7.9%的強勁比較相比。
