'HCA Florida Healthcare Has Evacuated Patients From 5 Hospitals To Sister Facilities' - JEMS

Insurance, regional banks, fitness centers, utilities, hospitals and theme parks are among the sectors that could be negatively impacted when Hurricane Milton hits Florida Wednesday night or <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41231817/hurricane-milton-dire-warning-if-you-choose-to-stay-youre-going-to-die-officials-encourage-writing-n">early </a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41209505/hurricane-milton-is-floridas-second-storm-in-two-weeks-how-disney-theme-parks-insurance-companie">Thursday </a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41231817/hurricane-milton-dire-warning-if-you-choose-to-stay-youre-going-to-die-officials-encourage-writing-n">morning.</a>
Here's a look at some of the sectors and stocks that investors should be watching with Hurricane Milton on the way.
Hurricane Milton Update: According <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/weather/map-hurricane-milton-path-forecast-status-track-rcna174203">to </a>NBC News, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/hurricane-milton">Hurricane Milton was downgraded </a>to a Category 4 storm on Wednesday morning. The hurricane is expected to make landfall Wednesday night and could hit some of Florida&#8217;s most populous areas, including the Tampa Bay area.
Evacuation orders are in place for multiple Florida counties with government officials warning that failure to follow the orders could lead to casualties.
With evacuations taking place, Florida service stations are running out of gas, and there are concerns about charging electric vehicles on evacuation routes.
The constant changes in the storm's path could have a major effect on the damage and potential casualties. A landfall in the Tampa Bay area is seen as the worst-case scenario for the hurricane, as reported by <a href="https://www.cnn.com/weather/live-news/hurricane-milton-florida-10-09-24/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNN</a>.

Regional Banks: DA Davidson analyst Gary Tenner looked at the regional banks that could be most impacted by Hurricane Milton in a new investor note.
"Based on experience, we would expect the banks in the market to be impacted in multiple ways in the post-hurricane period, including a potential deposit boost related to insurance settlements, elevated near term expenses and provision, with lending opportunities related to rebuilding efforts,&#8221; Tenner said.
The analyst said banks in the Tampa and St. Petersburg areas could see near-term increased expenses but could see "positive offsets over the longer term."
Based on market share in the region, Tenner highlights the following regional banks:
<ul>
<li>Regions Financial (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RF#NYSE">RF</a>): Buy rating</li>
<li>Fifth Third Bancorp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FITB#NASDAQ">FITB</a>): Neutral rating</li>
<li>Synovus Financial Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNV#NYSE">SNV</a>): Buy rating</li>
<li>SouthState Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSB#NYSE">SSB</a>): Buy rating</li>
<li>Cadence Bank (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CADE#NYSE">CADE</a>): Buy rating</li>
<li>Hancock Whitney Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HWC#NASDAQ">HWC</a>): Buy rating</li>
</ul>
Hospitals Impact: Hospital operators in the Florida region could be negatively impacted by Hurricane Milton and face IV shortages, RBC analyst Ben Hendrix said in a new investor note.
"Hospital operators traded slightly lower on Thursday, which we believe reflects at least in part weather-related concerns as Hurricane Milton moves toward Florida's west coast," Hendrix said.
The analyst said hospitals could see "some disruptions to facilities" in the coming days.
RBC highlights the following hospitals in the report:
<ul>
<li>Community Health Systems (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CYH#NYSE">CYH</a>): Outperform rating</li>
<li>HCA Healthcare (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HCA#NYSE">HCA</a>): Outperform rating</li>
<li>Tenet Healthcare (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/THC#NYSE">THC</a>): Outperform rating</li>
<li>Universal Health Services (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UHS#NYSE">UHS</a>): Sector Perform rating</li>
</ul>
"We believe HCA may be spared the worst of the storm damage with most of its hospital concentration in Central Florida located in the Tampa Bay area, which is north of the expected Sarasota landfall," Hendrix said.
Utilities Impact: Hurricane Milton could have a negative impact on utility stocks, Scotiabank analyst Andrew Weisel warned investors in a new note.
"While we remain bullish on U.S. utility fundamentals and valuations, we're growing somewhat cautious about investor sentiment, which had finally started to turn positive after years of negativity or indifference," Weisel said.
The analyst said they generally caution against trading around storms like Hurricane Milton.
"Rising hurricane activity is no doubt worrisome."
Weisel said the utility sector has several catalysts like rate cuts and the 2024 election, aside from the hurricane impact.
Top utility picks from Weisel are CMS Energy Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMS#NYSE">CMS</a>), WEC Energy Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WEC#NYSE">WEC</a>) and DTE Energy Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DTE#NYSE">DTE</a>). After these three top picks, the analyst highlights Southern Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SO#NYSE">SO</a>), NextEra Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEE#NYSE">NEE</a>), Alliant Energy Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LNT#NASDAQ">LNT</a>) and American Electric Power Company (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AEP#NASDAQ">AEP</a>) as other favorable utility names. 
Weisel also said he would buy Duke Energy Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DUK#NYSE">DUK</a>) because of its weakness ahead of Hurricane Milton.
"While outages often lead to lost revenues, slightly weighing on near-term earnings, the impacts are generally very modest," Weisel said.
Another major utility that could be impacted by Hurricane Milton is Tampa Electric, owned by Emera Inc. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EMRAF#OTC">EMRAF</a>). Serving the Tampa Bay area, Tampa Electric is particularly vulnerable to the storm&#8217;s effects.
Insurance Stocks: The insurance sector is one of the sectors most on watch for the damaging impact and cleanup aftermath from Hurricane Milton.
Insurance stocks like Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>), Allstate (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALL#NYSE">ALL</a>), Progressive (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PGR#NYSE">PGR</a>), Travelers Companies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TRV#NYSE">TRV</a>) and Chubb (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CB#NYSE">CB</a>) are among the large insurers that could be impacted.
RBC analyst Derald Goh, who covers European insurance stocks, shared a note on the potential damage from the hurricane.
"A potential $60bn industry loss from Hurricane Milton appears very manageable for a sector that is keen to demonstrate stronger earnings resiliency and should drive a re-rating," Goh said.
The $60 billion estimate comes as Hurricane Milton is expected to cause destruction similar to that caused by Hurricane Ian in 2022. Based on the estimated damage from that storm, the analyst considers this estimate the most reliable method for predicting the impact on insurance companies.
Goh said five hurricanes have made landfall in the U.S. this season, and the previous average forecast was 12.
Leisure Sector: Hurricane Milton could also impact theme parks, with the state of Florida home to Disney World, owned by The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>), and Universal Studios Orlando, owned by Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>).
Disney announced it is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41245886/disney-world-closes-early-as-hurricane-milton-approaches-florida-parks-brace-for-impact">closing Disney World parks early </a>on Wednesday and transportation services could remain limited, with a plan to re-open on Thursday. The storm may have scared away a large amount of tourists. Goldman Sachs recently said Disney could see a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/10/41229099/disney-faces-150m-200m-blow-from-hurricane-milton-attendance-set-to-drop-6-says-goldman-sac"> $150 million to $200 million</a> negative impact from Hurricane Milton.
Morgan Stanley analyst Megan Alexander sees Hurricane Milton having a negative impact on fitness centers Planet Fitness (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLNT#NYSE">PLNT</a>) and Life Time Group Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LTH#NYSE">LTH</a>) and indoor golf facility company Topgolf Callaway Brands (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MODG#NYSE">MODG</a>).
"Overall, PLNT appears to be the most exposed across our coverage particularly given the concentration of corporate locations in the state," Alexander said.
The analyst, who has an Overweight rating and a $84 price target on Planet Fitness, said Florida represents around 25% of corporate-owned locations. Store closures could negatively impact new membership additions, but Alexander added that the monthly membership fee revenue model could insulate the company from a negative impact.
The analyst sees Life Time Group, rated Equal Weight with a $21 price target, having a minimal impact with only five locations in Florida, which is less than 3% of total locations.
Alexander said Topgolf has nine locations in Florida, with five currently closed due to Hurricane Milton. The analyst, who has an Underweight rating and a $10 price target on the stock, said Topgolf will likely see a minimal impact unless locations have severe storm damage and have to be closed for an extended time period.

Check Out What Whales Are Doing With HCA

Shares of The Cigna Group (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ci#NYSE">CI</a>) have gained 25.6% in the past year compared with the industry&#39;s 18.2% growth. The Medical sector and the S&amp;P 500 composite index have rallied 9.3% and 21.2%, respectively, in the same time frame.

Currently priced at $357.40, the stock is just 3.6% below its 52-week high of $370.64. This proximity underscores investor confidence and market optimism about Cigna&#39;s prospects.&nbsp;

<h2>Robust Growth Prospects of CI Stock</h2>
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Cigna&#39;s 2024 earnings is pegged at $28.48 per share, which indicates a 13.5% increase from the 2023 figure. The consensus mark for revenues is $239.1 billion, which implies 22.4% growth from the year-ago figure.&nbsp;
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2025 earnings is pegged at $31.80 per share, which implies an 11.7% improvement from the 2024 estimate. The consensus mark for revenues is $246.5 billion, implying a 3.1% rise from the 2024 estimate.
<h2>Cigna&#39;s Business Tailwinds</h2>
Cigna&#39;s performance is underscored its strong growth platforms, Evernorth and Cigna Healthcare. Evernorth is propelled by a range of specialty pharmacy services, significantly enhancing pharmacy revenues for the parent company. Pharmacy revenues saw a 31.8% year-over-year increase in the first half of 2024.&nbsp;
Conversely, Cigna Healthcare is strengthened by its sound customer base across the U.S. Healthcare business. This segment anticipates long-term average annual adjusted earnings growth in the band of 7-10%.&nbsp;
An expanding customer base leads to higher premiums, a critical revenue source for health insurers. As of June 30, 2024, Cigna served 19 million medical customers. The aging U.S. population is likely to drive continuous demand for its Medicare plans in the days ahead. In addition to premium growth, Cigna Healthcare benefits from ongoing product enhancements and new or extended partnerships with prominent healthcare systems.
Cigna strategically acquires companies to bolster its solutions and capabilities, broaden its geographical reach and reinforce its market presence. In alignment with its focus on high-growth platforms, it has divested its non-core health units. A robust cash balance and sufficient cash generation abilities allow the company to invest in business expansion and strategically allocate capital for share buybacks and dividends. Over the next five years, management anticipates cash flows of approximately $60 billion.

<h2>Decoding THC&#39;s Bright Prospects</h2>
The growing senior population and increasing prevalence of diseases are expected to drive long-term demand for hospital services. Tenet Healthcare is well-positioned to benefit from this trend through strategic acquisitions and the development of new facilities. These expansion efforts aim to help Tenet capture more market share in a highly fragmented healthcare market, which will boost its adjusted admissions, emergency room visits and hospital surgeries.
Improving labor market conditions and effective staffing solutions are allowing the company to hire more workers and reopen services that were earlier shut down due to pandemic-related challenges. This increased capacity is expected to meet the rising demand for healthcare services. The company&#39;s strong second-quarter results reflect this positive growth trend.
Tenet&#39;s robust Q2 performance led it to raise its 2024 forecast. Net operating revenues from the Hospital segment are now expected to be between $16.3 billion and $16.5 billion, up from the previous range of $15.9 billion to $16.1 billion. Additionally, adjusted EBITDA is now projected to be between $3.825 billion and $3.975 billion, compared to the earlier estimate of $3.5 billion to $3.7 billion.
<h2>THC&#39;s Strategic Efforts</h2>
By the end of the second quarter, Tenet had stakes in 520 ambulatory surgery centers and 24 surgical hospitals. The company expects its transformative efforts to boost margins and free cash flow while creating a diversified business mix that can thrive in any political or regulatory environment. This approach will help reduce risks for investors.
Tenet Healthcare is focusing more on ambulatory surgery centers to tap into the rising demand for outpatient services. By leveraging its partnership with United Surgical Partners International, the company aims to expand its network, enhance operational efficiency, and improve profit margins.
Strategic investments in artificial intelligence-enabled technologies are set to enhance both clinical and administrative workflows, boosting overall efficiency. These advancements will likely reduce costs, shorten patient wait times and significantly improve the patient experience.
Alongside favorable industry trends, THC&#39;s focus on operational efficiency and rising net revenue per caseare expected to drive further profit growth, which is reflected by the revised estimates. Also, it doesn&#39;t shy away from divesting non-core and unprofitable business units to repay debt, maintain financial liquidity and make higher-return investments.
<h2>Estimate Revision Favoring THC Stock</h2>
Reflecting the positive sentiment around Tenet, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings per share has seen upward revisions. The consensus estimate for 2024 adjusted earnings for THC is currently pegged at $10.70 per share, indicating a 53.3% year-over-year surge. The consensus mark for 2025 suggests a further 2.4% jump. It beat earnings estimates in each of the past four quarters, with an average surprise of 58.5%. The consensus estimate for 2024 and 2025 revenues suggests 1.4% and 3.8% year-over-year growth, respectively.

<h2>THC: A Value-Driven Choice</h2>
Despite the recent growth in stock price, Tenet is trading at a discount compared to the industry average. It presents a compelling investment opportunity with its attractive forward 12-month price-to-earnings ratio of 15.07X, lower than the industry average of 16.19X. The company has a Value Score of A.

The upward revisions in estimates are suggesting a promising outlook ahead.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing HCA Healthcare's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, HCA Healthcare's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.35%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
