Universal Health Services' Q3 EBITDA Miss Driven by Weaker Pricing, BofA Securities Says

11:43 AM EDT, 10/28/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Universal Health Services (UHS) posted Q3 adjusted EBITDA below estimates as robust volumes were offset by weaker margins and pricing, BofA Securities said in a note Wednesday. Both the acute and the behavioral segments saw weaker profitability despite solid revenue, while negative non-same-store results indicate a slower de novo ramp, analysts wrote. Acute segment volume strength was offset by weaker pricing due to out-of-period state directed payment headwinds and surgical mix, according to the note. BofA Securities reiterated its underperform rating on the stock and lowered its price target to $170 per share from $175. Price: 177.53, Change: +0.21, Percent Change: +0.12
