AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · Universal Health Services (UHS)

Universal Health Services Q3 profit falls to $5.22 per share as revenue rises 5.3%

Mixed Impact 3 of 5 earnings

Universal Health Services reported third-quarter 2026 net income attributable to UHS of $308.7 million, or $5.22 per diluted share, down from $373.0 million, or $5.86 per diluted share, a year earlier. Net revenues rose 5.3% to $4.733 billion, and the company said a tentative settlement of the Cumberland Litigation drove a $26 million reserve increase, which shareholders should weigh against the higher revenue.
