What are Wall Street analysts saying about Envision Healthcare stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Envision Healthcare stock:
- 1. Canaccord Genuity analysts commented, "We reiterate our BUY rating and raise our PT to $46 based on an improving financial outlook given restructuring and easing utilization headwinds. The company characterized guidance as highly visible and not heroic. As such, we recommend continued exposure as utilization headwinds dissipate and the operational improvement plan takes hold. Key positive: High visibility into 2018 guidance: The low-end of 2018 adj-EBITDA of $960M is 87% in hand when annualizing 4Q’17. M&A from 2017 and 2018 should contribute an incremental $10-$15M and $20-$30M, respectively, bringing visibility up to 92% coverage at the low-end. Organic growth and further expense benefits from operational improvements would be the last leg in getting to guidance. Key negative: Consolidated organic growth rate lowered to 2-5% (was 3-6%) taking into account a softer utilization environment." (2/28/2018)
- 2. Cantor Fitzgerald analysts commented, "Revised 2018 estimates. We are lowering our 2018 adjusted EPS estimate to $3.75 from $3.95 and bringing down our adjusted 2018 EBITDA estimate to $950.6 million from $982 million to account for slightly higher seasonality, primarily in terms of salary, wages and benefits, which account for the majority of EVHC’s operating expenses. Our new estimate is just below the $960 million midpoint of management’s potential 2018 performance, as outlined in a presentation last November, but it remains above the $925.1 million FactSet consensus." (2/21/2018)
- 3. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Envision Healthcare's stock has outperformed the industry in last one month. The company has taken some discrete actions which are expected to improve its operating performance and realize $50 million of incremental adjusted EBITDA in 2018. It is optimistic about the physician services market, which is witnessing consolidation. Also the divestiture of its AMR business will help the company to focus on its core operations. The company is aggressively shifting its payor contract to in-network from out of network which will lead to greater client and patient satisfaction, competitive differentiation, administrative efficiency, enhanced collections and an accelerated cash flow. But, it suffers from high indebtedness, consequently leading to an increase in the interest ratio. Also, its operating expense is on the rise and is exceeding the revenue growth to have exerted pressure on the operating margins." (1/2/2018)
