Participation is not spreading downward this month; the larger companies are still carrying most of it.

Both lines start at 200 in the same week, so the distance between them is the whole story: the industry line is an equal-weighted index of its 39 companies. The bars underneath are trailing 12-month earnings per share, one bar per reported quarter, each member rebased to 100 at the start and the industry taking the median — so a price line pulling away from flat bars is a re-rating, not earnings. A bar turns red when that figure is lower than the quarter before. Rules are fixed and applied identically everywhere on this site: ahead by 5% or more over three months, or behind by 20% or more over a year while earnings grew 20% or more. Hover any point to read both values and the gap. This is a description of what the numbers did, not advice.

Start with scale. Then earnings trajectory. Then business quality. Only after those three agree should price leadership carry much weight.

4-Factor Sector Score

An additive sector-relative research score. The four displayed point contributions always equal the total: Growth & earnings (35), Capital efficiency (25), Valuation (20), and Relative strength (20). Missing or stale evidence is absorbed inside the affected factor, never applied as a hidden adjustment.

Growth & earnings · 35%Capital efficiency · 25%Valuation · 20%Relative strength · 20%
AMN Healthcare Services, Inc. has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 58.6% evidence confidence.
Select Medical Holdings Corporation looks inexpensive relative to peers or its own history, but its earnings trajectory has not yet earned the valuation signal.
National HealthCare Corporation has stronger price confirmation than earnings confirmation; that is a research prompt, not permission to chase.

Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. PEG is guarded: positive earnings, positive 5–60% three-year EPS growth, and a positive P/E are required.

Revenue Scale & Growth Durability

Fresenius Medical Care AG has the highest Revenue among the 30 Medical Care Facilities companies compared here, at $19,359 million. Universal Health Services, Inc. is next at $17,760 million. Astrana Health, Inc. has the highest Revenue growth at 56.8%, so level and change sit with different companies. 24 of 30 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.

What the numbers say: Fresenius Medical Care AG is the scale leader at $19,359 million, 9% ahead of Universal Health Services, Inc.. Astrana Health, Inc.'s growth is 56.8% from a $3,527 million base, with 19 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale.

LeaderFresenius Medical Care AG · $19,359 million
Gap9% versus #2 · Universal Health Services, Inc.
Persistence4/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage24/30 companies · 529 observations

Investor read: Fresenius Medical Care AG is the scale benchmark; Astrana Health, Inc. is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns.

This conclusion weakens if: Fresenius Medical Care AG's growth falls below Astrana Health, Inc.'s for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses.

Revenue is compared on a common reported-currency basis. Growth is year-on-year, so seasonality does not masquerade as progress.

AMN Healthcare Services, Inc. has the highest Margin change at +6.7 percentage points, so level and change sit with different companies. 29 of 30 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Jun 2026.

LeaderTenet Healthcare Corporation · 23.2%
Gap22.1% versus #2 · Encompass Health Corporation
Persistence5/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage29/30 companies · 529 observations

Investor read: Tenet Healthcare Corporation sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current margin change signal.

Operating margin compares operating profit with revenue. Improvement is measured in percentage points, not percentage growth.

Gap32.7% versus #2 · Fresenius Medical Care AG
Persistence8/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage25/30 companies · 548 observations

Investor read: Universal Health Services, Inc. sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current profit growth signal.

Net profit is the residual after operating costs, interest and tax. Growth off a loss or near-zero base is excluded from the fastest-grower rank.

Capacity Spending & Returns On It

HCA Healthcare, Inc. has the highest CAPEX among the 30 Medical Care Facilities companies compared here, at $1,231 million. Fresenius Medical Care AG is next at $423 million. Encompass Health Corporation has the highest CAPEX intensity at 10.2%, so level and change sit with different companies. 30 of 30 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Jun 2026.

What the numbers say: HCA Healthcare, Inc. reports $1,231 million of CAPEX; Encompass Health Corporation has the highest covered intensity at 10.2%. Coverage is only 30 of 30 companies and 535 reported observations, so this is partial evidence—not a complete sector rank.

LeaderHCA Healthcare, Inc. · $1,231 million
Gap191% versus #2 · Fresenius Medical Care AG
Persistence8/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage30/30 companies · 535 observations

Investor read: Use the CAPEX rank as a diligence queue. Verify commissioning, utilization, cash conversion and post-investment ROCE before treating spend as value creation.

This conclusion weakens if: CAPEX rises without higher utilization, operating cash flow or incremental returns.

CAPEX is cash spent on property, plant, equipment and other reported capital assets. CAPEX intensity divides that spend by revenue; high intensity is a reinvestment signal, not proof that the reinvestment will earn attractive returns.

Annual capital allocation · 7-year view
30/30 capacity base · 30/30 OCF · 30/30 CAPEX · 30/30 FCF

Capacity base is net fixed assets plus capital work in progress, straight off the reported balance sheet. It is not cash spent, so it answers a narrower question than CAPEX — but it is reported for companies whose cash-flow CAPEX is not published, which is why it leads here. Missing years remain blank; annual values are never relabelled as quarters.

Debt Load & Balance-Sheet Headroom

Healthcare Services Group, Inc. has the lowest Gross debt among the 30 Medical Care Facilities companies compared here, at $11 million. agilon health, inc. is next at $30 million. COMPASS Pathways plc has the lowest Net debt at $413 million net cash, so level and change sit with different companies.

What the numbers say: COMPASS Pathways plc has the clearest covered balance-sheet capacity with $413 million net cash and gross debt of $53 million. Absolute debt alone does not identify the strongest balance sheet because company scale differs; net debt and debt-to-equity carry more information.

LeaderHealthcare Services Group, Inc. · $11 million
Gap63.3% versus #2 · agilon health, inc.
Persistence8/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage30/30 companies · 550 observations

Investor read: Prioritize net-cash capacity and leverage relative to operating scale, not the smallest absolute rupee debt.

This conclusion weakens if: Net debt rises faster than revenue and profit for two consecutive reported periods.

Gross debt shows contractual borrowings. Net debt subtracts reported cash; a negative value means net cash. Lower debt can create capacity, but should be read against the scale and capital intensity of the business.

Return On Capital Employed

Guardian Pharmacy Services, Inc. has the highest ROCE among the 30 Medical Care Facilities companies compared here, at 7.8%. AMN Healthcare Services, Inc. is next at 6.9%. Healthcare Services Group, Inc. has the highest ROCE change at +11.4 percentage points, so level and change sit with different companies. Its ROCE series carries 17 reported observations across the 20-quarter window.

What the numbers say: Guardian Pharmacy Services, Inc. leads ROCE at 7.8%, 0.9 percentage points above AMN Healthcare Services, Inc.. Healthcare Services Group, Inc. has the strongest latest improvement at +11.4 percentage points. Read the leader beside the density of its reported history: a sparse high return is a candidate; a repeated high return is evidence of durability.

LeaderGuardian Pharmacy Services, Inc. · 7.8%
Gap13% versus #2 · AMN Healthcare Services, Inc.
Persistence3/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage30/30 companies · 550 observations

Investor read: Guardian Pharmacy Services, Inc. sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current roce change signal.

ROCE asks how much operating return the business earns on the capital employed. Direction matters, but a single exceptional year should not be mistaken for durability.

Valuation Against Growth & Quality

Universal Health Services, Inc. has the lowest Guarded PEG among the 30 Medical Care Facilities companies compared here, at 0.21×. Fresenius Medical Care AG is next at 0.22×. Sonida Senior Living, Inc. has the lowest P/E at 1.92×, so level and change sit with different companies. 13 of 30 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.

What the numbers say: Universal Health Services, Inc. has the lowest comparable Guarded PEG at 0.21×, 4.5% below Fresenius Medical Care AG. Only 13 of 30 companies pass the guard, so no broad “cheapest stock” conclusion is defensible unless the current multiple, own-history position and growth durability agree.

LeaderUniversal Health Services, Inc. · 0.21×
Gap4.5% versus #2 · Fresenius Medical Care AG
Persistence0/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage13/30 companies · 104 observations

Investor read: Treat valuation as permission to investigate, never as a standalone reason to buy.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current p/e signal.

PEG is shown only when earnings are positive and three-year EPS growth is between 5% and 60%. It is recomputed consistently as the trailing P/E divided by that growth rate — reported earnings, never an expected-earnings multiple. On Indian companies it is shown only where the two data sources reconciled. A missing PEG is more honest than a low-base fiction.

Investor read: Treat valuation as permission to investigate, never as a standalone reason to buy.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current p/bv signal.

EV/EBITDA includes debt in enterprise value and is useful across different capital structures. P/BV prices the company against its own book. Both are market multiples on reported figures, not intrinsic-value estimates and not forecasts.

Before the conclusion · check the blind spots

What can make this comparison misleading?

This Medical Care Facilities comparison names 4 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. All 30 companies here report on comparable dates, so no rank carries a stale marker. A high growth rate can still be a low-base artefact.

Keep these limits visible

  • A high growth rate can be a low-base artefact. The page keeps level and change separate for that reason.
  • A high ROCE can be temporary or flattered by a small capital base. Read it beside margin, cash conversion and reinvestment.
  • The 4-Factor Sector Score ranks research priority, not portfolio action. Management quality, catalysts and risks need equally fresh evidence before capital is deployed.
  • An “all companies” line chart preserves completeness, but rank changes should be checked against reporting dates before drawing a conclusion.
10 · the complete set

Which companies are included?

All 30 companies in the canonical Medical Care Facilities membership are listed below, largest market value first — nothing is silently dropped, even where a company reports too little to rank. 1 of these is no longer being priced, so its price and relative strength are frozen at the last traded week shown.

AHEAD means the company is beating the index by 5% or more over three months. LAGGING, FUNDAMENTALS UP means it is 20% or more behind over a year while its trailing twelve-month earnings grew 20% or more. Both rules are fixed and applied the same way in every sector.

How was this comparison built?

This comparison is built from the reported filings of 30 Medical Care Facilities companies, normalized to a common $ scale and a shared quarter axis of up to 20 quarters each. Fundamentals run through Jun 2026 and market data through 2026-07-28. A second data feed fills gaps only after identity and scale reconciliation, and missing observations are never interpolated.

Medical Care Facilities company comparison FAQs

These 18 answers restate the Medical Care Facilities comparison above in question form. Every one is computed from the same 30 companies and the same reported filings as the rankings and charts, current through Jun 2026. Price and relative-strength answers run through 2026-07-28. Nothing here is estimated, and none of it is a recommendation.

Which Medical Care Facilities company is the biggest?

Fresenius Medical Care AG is the largest, with trailing-twelve-month revenue of $19,359 million, ahead of Universal Health Services, Inc. at $17,760 million. That covers 24 of 30 companies with comparable reporting through Mar 2026.

Which Medical Care Facilities company is growing fastest?

Astrana Health, Inc. has the fastest revenue growth at 56.8% year on year, across 24 of 30 comparable companies. Fast growth off a small base is not the same as proven scale — check whether the rate holds across several quarters on the chart above before treating it as a trend.

Which Medical Care Facilities company has the best profit margins?

Tenet Healthcare Corporation has the highest operating margin at 23.2%, from 29 of 30 comparable companies. AMN Healthcare Services, Inc. shows the biggest recent improvement, at +6.7 percentage points. A high margin matters most when it is holding or rising, not when it is peaking.

Which Medical Care Facilities company makes the most profit?

Universal Health Services, Inc. earns the most, at $1,549 million of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 25 of 30 comparable companies. Fresenius Medical Care AG has the fastest profit growth at 43.7%, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed.

Which Medical Care Facilities company earns the highest return on capital?

Guardian Pharmacy Services, Inc. leads on return on capital employed at 7.8%, across 30 of 30 companies. Read it beside the length of its reported history: a high return that repeats for years is evidence of a durable business, while a single high reading can be a small capital base or one good year.

Which Medical Care Facilities stock is the cheapest?

On guarded PEG — where a LOWER number is cheaper — Universal Health Services, Inc. screens cheapest at 0.21×.
