Universal Health Services Inc., a key player in healthcare, has had a series of ups and downs recently. The company's
Class B stock underperformed on one occasion, relative to its competitors, however,
Wellington Management Group still made a hefty purchase. Pre-parations are ongoing to tackle a $535M judgment against a subsidiary, a situation that could impact UHS's stability. However, these concerns are counterbalanced by
anticipations about the company's capability to meet tomorrow's healthcare demands. Despite recently incurring $67 million losses due to an apparent ransomware attack, the company announced significant plans such as launching
Beaumont Behavioral Health hospital and embarking on a new project enhancing mental health services. These developments exhibit the
strength and resilience of UHS. Controversies surrounding the company include alleged
falsification of patient records and a $12.5m settlement of an ERISA complaint. Lastly, amidst shifts in the internal leadership with the Founder Alan B. Miller stepping down and new CEO Marc Miller taking over, the company has been
upgraded by Robert W. Baird to outperform.
