UBS analyst says, "In terms of read-thru’s from qtr, it appeared that Q4 looked much like Q3 in terms of better volumes offset by weaker mix/pricing and although improving jobs #’s clearly a positive trend for future utilization, we remain unconvinced of a turn in NT. Looking ahead, key here will be how confluence of easy mix/pricing comps beginning in Q2 play against tougher cost control comps beginning in Q3. We continue to remain positively biased on HCA with $2 special div high lighting public/private shareholder alignment."
