Stockchase Opinions

The Panic-Proof Portfolio (Stockchase Research) Ardent Healthcare Partners Inc. ARDT-N TOP PICK Apr 24, 2025

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

This operator of 30 acute care hospitals and 200 care sites in the US is a TOP PICK.  They are managing through turbulent times for the sector, while growing cash reserves and reducing debt.  Nursing costs are stabile and they will soon know about a partnership in New Mexico which analysts believe will further stimulate cash flow.  It trades at 9x earnings, 1.6x book and supports a 23% ROE.  We recommend setting a stop-loss at $8.00, looking to achieve $16.50 -- upside potential of 28%.  Yield 0%

(Analysts’ price target is $19.90)
$12.580
