Tenet Earnings: Raising FVE on Positive Results Driven by Higher-Acuity Services Expansion
No-moat Tenet Healthcare posted strong second-quarter results above our expectations. We are raising our fair value estimate to $128 per share from $104 due to an increased near-term outlook based on robust medical utilization trends and expanded higher-acuity offerings. Despite the 23% fair value estimate increase, we still view Tenet’s shares as slightly overvalued.
