HCA Healthcare cut its 2026 earnings outlook after a sharp rise in uninsured patients-mainly those who dropped ACA plans following subsidy expiration-hit second-quarter profits harder than anticipated. The company now expects the ACA coverage decline to reduce income by up to $1.2 billion this year, nearly double its original estimate. Lower surgical volumes also contributed to the revised guidance.
HCA Healthcare delivered first-quarter results that met Wall Street's revenue and earnings expectations, with sales rising 4.3% year-over-year to $19.11 billion and EPS of $7.15. However, adjusted EBITDA of $3.8 billion missed estimates by 1.4%, and the company provided full-year guidance projecting slower growth ahead.
