Universal Health Services’ Secret Playbook: How Outpatient Surgeries Are Fueling a Comeback!

Universal Health Services (UHS) recently reported its third-quarter 2025 financial results, highlighting a significant increase in adjusted net income attributable to UHS, which rose by 53% year-over-year to $5.69 per share. This performance was driven by a robust 13.4% year-over-year revenue growth, buoyed by a strong showing from its acute care operations, modest volume improvements in its behavioral health segment, and favorable pricing in both sectors. A notable contributing factor to the revenue increase was the $90 million net benefit from a recently approved supplemental Medicaid program in the District of Columbia. This led to an upward revision of UHS’s 2025 adjusted EPS guidance midpoint to $21.80 from $20.50 per diluted share. Following improvements at newly opened facilities, such as Cedar Hill Regional Medical Center and West Henderson Hospital, and with an up-and-coming hospital in Florida, UHS is strategically positioning itself for further growth going into 2026.
