UHS Q2 FY2026: revenue up 8.3%, EPS $5.98, guidance trimmed

UHS grew revenue 8.3% to $4.638 billion and diluted EPS 10.1% to $5.98, but missed the $6.02 consensus and trimmed full-year adjusted guidance. Read the quarter knowing that a $72 million net Florida Medicaid benefit inflated it, and that management assumes no repeat. Volumes rose on both sides of the business; the outlook did not.
