#5 - Encompass Health (NYSE:EHC)
Moving from the company with the lowest Net Impact Ratio we come to Encompass Health (NYSE:EHC) which has the highest Net Impact Ratio at 88.6%. The company provides facilities for rehabilitative treatment and care as well as Medicare-certified home nursing and specialized home care and in-home services through its Home Health and Hospice segment. This allows the company to score highly in the way it benefits public health as well as its positive impact on society.
With that said, the company announced plans to spin off its Home Health and Hospice Segment in the first half of 2022. In the last quarter that accounted for approximately 25% of the company’s revenue. This may provide some context for why EHC stock is down significantly from its 52-week high.
On February 1 the company posted a mixed earnings report (missed on EPS, beat on revenue). However, that may be enough to break the bearish pattern that has engulfed EHC stock. Despite some recent downgrades, analysts give the stock a consensus price target of $89.13 which is a 43% upside from its price as of this writing.
