Universal Health Services, Inc. (UHS) is rated Strong Buy due to its undervaluation at 8x forward P/E and steady earnings growth. Although the company recently cut its FY'26 guidance because some new hospitals took longer to become profitable, overall revenue and EBITDA continue to grow in both Acute Care and Behavioral Health segments. Medicaid reimbursement cuts are gradual and manageable, and management is shifting focus toward outpatient behavioral health and private payors. A nearly $1 billion share buyback and potential valuation multiple expansion support a price target of $428 per share for UHS.
