-- 独立系調査会社CFRAは、に対し、以下の調査レポートを提供しました。CFRAのアナリストは、以下のように見解をまとめています。UHSは第1四半期に堅調な業績を上げ、調整後EPSは5.62ドル(前年同期比16.1%増)となり、市場予想を0.16ドル上回りました。患者数は控えめだったものの、価格上昇により売上高は9.6%増の44億9,500万ドルとなりました。既存施設における急性期医療の売上高は、調整後入院患者数は横ばいながら、入院患者1人当たりの売上高が6.3%増加したため、8.2%増加しました。精神医療部門は、入院患者数が1.2%増加し、売上高は7.3%増加しました。8億3,500万ドルのTalkspace買収は、UHSのバーチャル精神医療機能を拡大し、支払者構成を多様化させる可能性があると当社は考えています。経営陣は、この買収が第3四半期に完了すると見込んでいます。営業キャッシュフローは11.7%増の4億200万ドルとなり、UHSは1億2730万ドル相当の自社株買いを実施したが、営業費用増加により調整後EBITDAマージンは20ベーシスポイント低下し14.4%となった。精神保健分野の人材確保における課題は依然として残るものの、Talkspaceとの統合により成長機会が生まれると期待している。
