DaVita shares more than double after strong Q1 and court win; analyst sells most shares, rates Hold.

DaVita Inc.'s share price has more than doubled in six months following a strong Q1 2026 earnings beat and a favorable court ruling. Despite this surge, the company's fundamentals and long-term outlook remain stable, with expected earnings growth of over 30% in 2026 and annual growth of 10–16% through 2028. An analyst sold over 95% of his DaVita shares as the stock price exceeded his fair value target of $130, now trading above $210. He maintains a Hold rating due to limited upside potential and ongoing volatility at current valuation levels.
