TD Cowen says AI opportunities are real for hospitals

September 30, 2026 9:08 AM EDT

TD Cowen analyst Ryan Langston commented: "We believe investors are not contemplating significant AI benefits to hospitals. We see AI uptake providing a base case ~240bps acute margin opportunity over time. The "holy grail" of using AI to improve clinical labor workflows adds ~160bps margin for every 5% efficiency change. Reimbursement mechanics may compress rate growth and pressure LT benefit durability, making first mover advantage key. Companies with well-defined AI strategies and size/scale to use first-mover advantage like HCA, THC, and UHS should be well positioned."
