Highlights

The presenter is long shares of Universal Health Services (UHS), a hospital management company that has been weighed on by an ongoing government investigation, and media coverage of, allegations of patient mistreatment in its behavioral health hospitals. The presenter expects the investigation to conclude with a settlement in the near future, following which UHS can focus on recovering core margins and deploy its balance sheet. He sees strong long-term performance in UHS shares over the next 5 - 7 years, with a solid near-term catalyst from the conclusion of the investigation sometime over the next 6 - 24 months.
