Equal Weight
Reason
Morgan Stanley analyst Craig Hettenbach raised the firm's price target on HCA Healthcare (HCA) to $410 from $355 and keeps an Equal Weight rating on the shares. HCA's scale and operating initiatives underpin consistently strong margins, says the analyst, who adds that higher margins and lower capital intensity should drive multiple expansion in Tenet Healthcare (THC) and narrow the gap to HCA. Given that view, the analyst calls out Tenet as the firm's preferred stock in hospitals.

Overweight
Reason
Barclays analyst Andrew Mok raised the firm's price target on HCA Healthcare to $416 from $366 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares. Following Q1 earnings and "several negative data points" around Part D mix, Affordable Care Act trend, and preliminary 2026 ACA rates, the firm is more concerned on the Medicare Part D and individual ACA businesses, which it believes carry negative earnings risk for the balance of 2025 and face significant premium increases and disruption in 2026. With limited prospects of multiple expansion and an unfavorable managed care catalyst calendar, investors are likely to be more sensitive to earnings revisions, which skew negatively for Part D- and ACA-sensitive stocks, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Barclays continues to prefer hospitals to managed care.

Reason
As previously reported, Wells Fargo upgraded HCA Healthcare to Equal Weight from Underweight with a price target of $385, up from $320. The firm is now more constructive on the hospital group and sees policy risks as having receded following the House passage of budget reconciliation legislation. While the legislation will face changes in the Senate and needs to be passed again by the House, Wells believes healthcare spending cuts are unlikely to worsen and could potentially moderate. Although the coverage impacts will be a headwind, the firm thinks they are likely to be manageable.

BofA analyst Joanna Gajuk raised the firm's price target on HCA Healthcare to $410 from $370 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The firm hosted a discussion at the BofA Healthcare Conference with HCA CFO Michael Marks, noting that the tone was bullish given underlying strong demand for services and the ability to control costs as evidenced by 11% EBITDA growth in Q1. BofA added that it raised its price target on the shares on a higher multiple to reflect confidence in this year and higher peer multiples, noting that uncertainty on macro, tariffs, and policy changes have not been noticeable.
