Barclays on Universal Health Services (UHS) After Investor Meetings; Business Improvement Should Materially Benefit

Barclays maintains an 'Overweight' on Universal Health Services (NYSE: UHS) price target of $71.00.

Analyst, Joshua R. Raskin, said, "We were recently able to host UnitedHealth for a series of investor meetings including a group meeting, with the main takeaway being the clear differentiation that UnitedHealth brings relative to the traditional managed care sector...Looking at the company today, we believe that UnitedHealth is particularly well positioned relative to its peer group. Our conclusion is that UnitedHealth Group is quietly operating at an accelerated pace, while external market forces pressure the stock's valuation."
