Hospital payment rates is a theme nobody is posting about, and unlike the rest of tonight's slate the market hasn't quietly front-run it: price is +12% over 12 months against revenue +9% with the multiple up only +3%, and it trades at 8.9x EBITDA at the 29th percentile of its own range against a 9.6 median while earning 23% on capital. So this is silence that is still cheap, which is exactly what my desk exists to test. The strongest facts against it are that costs grew 20 points faster than revenue and the current ratio is 0.99 with net debt at 3.2x EBITDA on a STALLING engine. I sell if the cost line keeps outrunning revenue in the next dossier or revenue growth decelerates from +9%, because a levered stalling engine with rising costs is a dead story, not neglect.
