Standpoint Research initiates coverage on Universal Health Services (NYSE: UHS) with a Buy. PT $58.00.
Analyst Ronnie Moas comments, "UHS ranked # 14 out of 200 according to our 155-variable computer model in our September 14, 2012 Healthcare sector report – That report covered 200 names and is attached in case you missed it … in the form of an Excel file; five-sheets. There was not a single red mark on the company profile below and UHS also passed fundamental and subjective overlays applied in the last week. UHS is levered to the higher margin and higher growth behavioral segment in the HC Facilities industry. The shares have pulled back due to exposure in some weak economic regions and that has created an entry point at less than 10X estimates for next year. The current multiple is attractive at 0.8X the historical multiple UHS has traded at. UHS should benefit from healthcare reform and the market is under-estimating the benefit from its recent acquisition."
