HCA Healthcare, Inc. (HCA)

The company now

HCA Healthcare reported third-quarter 2026 revenue of $19.849 billion on 27 October, up 3.6 percent from a year earlier 1. Net income attributable to the company fell 3.9 percent to $1.579 billion 1. Diluted earnings per share came to $7.27, a 4.5 percent increase 1.

A shift toward patients with no insurance was the main drag 1. The company estimated that the shift cut income before income taxes by about $400 million in the quarter, mostly from patients who lost coverage on the health insurance exchanges 1. Same facility uninsured admissions rose 27.4 percent 2.

The 10-Q ties the rise to the expiration of the enhanced premium tax credits at the end of 2025, which had helped people buy plans on those exchanges 2. The company also says approvals of Medicaid supplemental payment programs, mainly in Florida, helped revenue 2.

The company now believes its full year 2026 results will land in the upper half of the guidance ranges it issued on 14 July 1. Those ranges are revenue of $77.0 billion to $79.5 billion and net income attributable to the company of $6.3 billion to $6.7 billion 1.

On 2 November a subsidiary, HCA Inc., proposed a public offering of senior notes and said it would redeem all $1.200 billion of its 4.500% senior notes due February 2027 on 2 December 5. The redemption depends on the offering's proceeds arriving first, and the release says the money may also repay commercial paper and credit facility borrowings 54.
