The read, from its own figures
What its numbers say
- UHS closes above its 50-day average ($178.63), and the 50-day sits above the 200-day ($176.66): on both averages the chart reads as an uptrend.
- At $195.50, UHS is 20.6% below its 1-year high of $246.33, set on November 26, 2025, and 39.6% above its 1-year low of $140.08 (June 8, 2026).
- Over the past month UHS rose 11.3%, from $175.72 to $195.50.
- UHS trades at 8.2x its last twelve months of earnings and 8.5x the next twelve months' estimate, so analysts expect earnings 3.7% lower.
- Its P/E is 47.0% below the 15.5x median of the 2 other medical care facilities companies we track (HCA, DVA).
- UHS's 30-day volatility, 48.7% a year, works out to a typical daily move of about 3.1%.
- Yahoo Finance puts its beta at 1.11: over five years of monthly returns, UHS moved about 1.11% for each 1% move of the S&P 500.
What would change the read
- A close under the 50-day average, $178.63 (−8.6% from the last close), would turn the read to a pullback; under the 200-day, $176.66 (−9.6%), the longer rise is in question.
- A close above $246.33 (+26.0%) would be a new 1-year high; below $140.08 (−28.3%), a new 1-year low.
How it is computed
- Prices are Yahoo Finance's daily candles for UHS, the same ones the chart below draws; the P/E, forward P/E and beta are Yahoo Finance quote fields.
- The averages are simple means of the last 50 and 200 closes; the 1-year high and low are the highest high and lowest low of the last 252 sessions; the 30-day volatility is the standard deviation of the past month's daily returns, annualized with the square root of 252.
- Peers are the other companies Yahoo Finance files under medical care facilities among the assets we track, not a full industry screen; the median counts those with a positive P/E.
- Every sentence here is written by code from those figures, refreshed daily; nobody edits it for UHS by hand. It describes what the price and the multiples have done, not what they will do, and it is not advice.
