RBC Capital analyst Ben Hendrix raised the firm’s price target on HCA Healthcare (HCA) to $482 from $449 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares. The firm was “pleased” to see HCA shares advance after a solid Q3 beat and raise on Friday, with the stronger full year outlook reflecting better than expected core performance, as well as incremental earnings from state supplemental programs, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The management also appears to be voicing greater confidence in its ability to achieve volume growth next year in line with long-term targets, the firm added.
