Tenet Healthcare Corporation Price and EPS Surprise
Revenues of Tenet Healthcare in the second quarter are likely to reflect the impact of softer contribution from its Hospital segment. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter net operating revenues of the Hospital unit is pegged at $3.9 billion, which indicates a 4.8% decline from the prior-year quarter’s reported figure.
Meanwhile, the Ambulatory Care business is likely to have gained from better patient volumes and new service line growth. The consensus mark for the Ambulatory segment’s revenues stands at $827 million, suggesting a 24.5% growth from the prior-year quarter’s adjusted figure.
The Conifer segment is expected to have benefited on the back of commercial capabilities, which resulted in a robust sales pipeline, and continued business expansion endeavors. The consensus mark for the segment’s revenues stands at $327 million, indicating a 2.5% rise year over year.
The gradual recovery of adjusted admissions and outpatient visits in the second quarter might have favored the quarterly performance of Tenet Healthcare.
Margins of Tenet Healthcare are expected to have received a boost on the back of reduced operating costs. However, the shortage of nurses throughout the United States remains a concern for hospital facilities, and THC has been no exception to the trend. Likewise, the healthcare provider has been grappling with elevated staffing costs related to the hiring of temporary contract nurses. Along with the Hospital unit, increased capital expenditures pursued by Tenet Healthcare as part of its robust expansion initiatives might have also weighed on the performance of the Ambulatory segment.
Thereby, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for adjusted EBITDA of THC’s Ambulatory and Hospital segments stands at $217 million and $400 million, respectively. The figures mark a fall of 26.4% and 10.9% from their respective year-over-year reported figures. Similarly, the consensus mark for the Conifer segment’s adjusted EBITDA is pegged at $71 million, suggesting a 21.1% decline year over year.
