Fed’s Powell opens door to potential rate cuts at Jackson Hole
NEW YORK - On Wednesday, Tenet Healthcare Corporation (NYSE:THC) reported fourth quarter earnings that beat analyst expectations, sending shares up 1.91% in after-hours trading.
The hospital operator posted adjusted earnings per share of $3.44, surpassing the consensus estimate of $2.95. Revenue came in at $5.07 billion, slightly below expectations of $5.17 billion but down 5.7% YoY due to hospital divestitures.
Tenet’s Ambulatory Care segment, which includes outpatient surgery centers, was a bright spot. The segment’s revenue increased 16.9% YoY to $1.26 billion, while adjusted EBITDA rose 14.2% to $530 million.
"2024 was an outstanding year for Tenet characterized by robust revenue growth, efficient operations, high levels of patient satisfaction and clinical quality, and a portfolio transformation that drove substantial balance sheet deleveraging," said CEO Saum Sutaria.
For fiscal year 2025, Tenet forecasts adjusted EPS of $11.74-$12.84, above the $11.08 analyst consensus. The company expects revenue of $20.6-21 billion, slightly below the $21.3 billion consensus.
Tenet’s net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio improved to 2.54x at year-end 2024, compared to 3.89x a year earlier, reflecting its strengthened financial position.
