Several developments have surrounded DaVita Inc. (DVA) recently. The stock has endured significant fluctuation due to various financial factors. Despite reporting financial improvements in 2024 and better-than-expected sales in Q4, the shares have been caught in a negative turn, with a downward shift in share value observed after the announcements. A significant contributor to this paradigm shift was the news of Berkshire Hathaway, under Warren Buffett's management, selling shares in DaVita amounting to an estimated $116M, reducing its stake by 2%. This incited market uncertainty, contributing to the share price decline.
Still, despite financial discrepancies, DaVita has not wavered in its commitment to healthcare, continuing to make waves in the sector. The company's Q4 2024 earnings call highlights strong EPS growth amid supply chain challenges, beating estimates by $0.10 EPS. It also recently appointed David Maughan as its new Chief Operating Officer and has expressed a deeper commitment to whole-person care through its investment in the National Kidney Foundation PEERS Program. Notably, DaVita received an average rating of 'Hold' from brokerages.
