Alluvium Asset Management, an asset management company, released its Q1 2025 investor letter. Here is what the fund said:

“HCA Healthcare, Inc. (NYSE:HCA), the hospital and ambulatory site owner/operator, (up 15.4%) released its full year results. Management provided 2025 guidance of revenue up 5.2% and EPS up 13.4% – a little above our estimate of its maintainable earnings. We suspect the concerns over possible regulatory changes (which we wrote about here) have been put on the back burner whilst the market digests the tariff implications. We ended the quarter with a 7.9% position, which, given its current price and our view of its value, we are reasonably comfortable with.”
