Deutsche Bank upgraded HCA Holdings (NYSE: HCA) to Buy with a price target of $32.00.

Deutsche analyst says, "Our upgrade on HCA underscores our belief that a more constructive “group call” on the hospitals would be shallow without the inclusion of the undisputed bellwether. HCA continues to stand out from the group with regard to: (1) its ability to grow volumes better (clearly the product of its positioning and leadership in regions with better population/demographics); (2) its ability to generate free cash flow, which provides it with flexibility and creativity relative to capital deployment; and (3) its proven management team."
