Universal Health Realty: A Buy Even As Fed Rate Cut Benefits Largely Shift To 2026

Universal Health Realty is a healthcare REIT focused on medical office buildings/clinics and acute care hospitals. Q1 2025 FFO was $0.86/share, slightly up quarter-over-quarter but down year-over-year due to weaker revenues and higher interest expenses. As such, I believe that the REIT will only achieve FFO of $3.45-$3.55/share in 2025.

Universal Health Services: Leveraging On Acute Hospital Care Growth

I'm bullish on UHS due to strong acute care market growth, driven by rising chronic disease prevalence and robust healthcare spending. UHS's financials are impressive, with Q1'25 net income up 21% and revenue up 6.7%, reflecting sustained demand for acute care services. Valuation metrics show UHS is undervalued relative to peers, with a low P/S ratio and competitive revenue growth, supporting a buy rating.
