Ardent Health Partners, Inc. (NYSE:ARDT) is one of the 13 Cheap Healthcare Stocks with Huge Upside Potential. Leerink Partners analyst Whit Mayo reiterated a Buy rating on Ardent Health Partners, Inc. (NYSE:ARDT) on July 5 without a price target.

The rating continued the analyst’s bullish streak on the company, as he gave it a buy rating on June 23 due to strong sector trends and the belief that the company is presently underperforming its potential.

Mayo further reasoned that despite the delay in the anticipated $65 million NM DPP contribution to Q3 2025, the company’s full-year EBITDA remains unaffected, attributing the delay to uncertainty in the timing of CMS approval instead of a lack of confidence in the eventual approval.
