Ramsay's Australian Hospital Business on Improvement Path

Dow Jones
Jul 20

2349 GMT - Jarden's overweight call on Ramsay Health Care is underpinned by expected improvements in its private-hospital business in Australia. That includes an expanded market share and increase in surgical mix. Analyst Steve Wheen also expects Ramsay to lift capacity utilization and expand margins slightly as it achieves private health insurance agreements that cover wage inflation. "In addition, a re-orientation of the Ramsay portfolio should assist with the business's cash generation and returns," Jarden says, noting Ramsay is selling assets in Europe and at home. It retains a A$45.20/share price target on Ramsay, which ended last week at A$43.12. (david.winning@wsj.com; @dwinningWSJ)
