what happened

HCA Healthcare reported third-quarter net income of $1,849 million, according to Reuters. Earnings per share for the period came in at $7.27.

For the full fiscal year, the hospital operator expects revenue between $77,000 million and $79,500 million. The IBES consensus estimate was $78,517 million. The company's full-year EPS outlook is $28.7 to $30.5, and it plans capital spending of $5,400 million.

why it matters

Results from large US hospital operators matter for the whole healthcare sector, since they show demand for elective procedures and payer dynamics. The midpoint of the revenue range sits slightly below market expectations, which may temper enthusiasm for the stock, though the wide range leaves room for different readings.
