Barclays maintains an 'Overweight' on Vanguard Health Systems (NYSE: VHS) price target of $18.00.
Barclays analyst says, "Barclays Capital Key Takeaways: 1) With significant headwinds to government reimbursement, the company remains focused on advocacy; 2) VHS believes that it can offset some of the pressures through operating improvements at other facilities; 3) Vanguard's volume growth has been strong despite the low utilization environment; 4) The recently completed Valley Baptist acquisition will likely weigh on margins but should benefit margins in the future; and 5) We view the opportunity to expand margins in the Detroit Medical Center as both a near term and long term opportunity."
