HCA Healthcare reported first-quarter 2026 results with revenue increasing 4.3% year-over-year to $19.1 billion.
Net income rose slightly to $1.62 billion, while earnings per share grew 10.9% to $7.15, supported by improved profitability and cost management. Adjusted EBITDA increased 1.9% to $3.8 billion, and operating cash flow rose 22% to $2.0 billion.
Patient volumes showed modest growth, though overall activity was impacted by lower respiratory-related admissions and weather disruptions. These effects were largely offset by higher reimbursement contributions, including Medicaid supplemental programs.
