KeyBanc Capital Markets writes that Healthcare Services stocks are expected to see significant changes in 2025.
Strong volumes, increased enrollment in health insurance exchanges (HIX) and Medicaid-directed payment programs (DPPs) will likely benefit hospitals.
However, the uncertain policies under Trump may still affect investor confidence.

Medicare Advantage (MA) managed care organizations (MCOs) are still facing higher costs, but the funding situation for MA could improve in the first half of 2025, offering a clearer path for profit recovery in 2026 and beyond.
As the industry approaches 2025, KeyBanc analyst Matthew Gillmor says he prefers stocks tied to higher patient volumes that are somewhat protected from policy changes.
The analyst expects patient volumes to stay high due to strong HIX enrollment and ongoing post-COVID trends, which will benefit hospitals&#8217; earnings but may limit earnings growth for MCOs.
KeyBanc highlights that volume comparisons will be tough and will monitor proprietary data for trend changes.
Healthcare policy will be a key focus in the first half of 2025, with HIX subsidies and Medicaid DPP being important for hospitals and the 2026 MA rate notice as well as Humana Inc&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HUM#NYSE">HUM</a>) lawsuit being key for MCOs.
KeyBanc expects the policy situation for MA MCOs to improve by April, with UnitedHealth Group Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>) being the top choice to benefit from this. Additionally, sentiment around behavioral hospitals, particularly Acadia Healthcare Co (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACHC#NASDAQ">ACHC</a>), is likely at its lowest.
KeyBanc has upgraded Acadia Healthcare to Overweight from Sector Weight with a price target of $70, citing meaningful higher inflection during 2025 as investors gain visibility into the potential 2026 EBITDA acceleration and valuation returns to historical ranges.
Acadia&#8217;s stock lagged behind the market in 2024 due to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/09/41067826/federal-investigations-continue-for-psychiatric-hospital-chain-operator-acadia-healthcare-even-aft" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">external challenges</a> and rising startup expenses, which hurt EBITDA in 2024 and 2025. The analyst believes these issues will improve by 2026, as new beds added in 2024-2025 start to pay off and the increase in startup losses during 2025 slows down or stabilizes.
Price Action: ACHC stock is up 1.45% at $45.50 at last check Tuesday.

Acadia Healthcare shares are trading lower following a report indicating the Veterans Department is investigating the company for insurance fraud.

<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/18/business/acadia-healthcare-veterans-affairs-investigation.html">https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/18/business/acadia-healthcare-veterans-affairs-investigation.html</a>
The Veterans Affairs Department is investigating whether Acadia Healthcare, one of the country's largest chains of psychiatric hospitals, is defrauding government health insurance programs by holding patients longer than is medically necessary, according to three people with knowledge of the inquiry.
The investigation, led by the agency's inspector general, comes three weeks after <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/27/business/acadia-federal-investigations.html">Acadia told investors</a> that it was facing scrutiny for its admissions practices from several other federal investigators, including prosecutors in Manhattan and a grand jury in Missouri. The company, which relies on government insurance programs like Medicare and Medicaid for much of its revenue, said it was also expecting to receive inquiries from the Securities and Exchange Commission and other agencies.
Acadia told investors that it was "fully cooperating with authorities and, at this time, cannot speculate on whether the outcome of these investigations will have any impact on its business or operations." The company has denied claims that it was improperly holding patients and has said that all decisions about care are made by licensed medical professionals.
The Veterans Affairs Department did not immediately respond to questions about the new investigation.
&nbsp;
<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/01/business/acadia-psychiatric-patients-trapped.html">The New York Times reported</a> in September that Acadia was holding patients against their will in ways that appeared to violate state laws. The Times reported that some patients arrived at emergency rooms seeking routine mental health care but then were sent to Acadia facilities and locked in. The company's employees often held patients until their insurance coverage ran out, even when there was no medical justification.
The Times article was based on official complaints, court records and interviews with patients, as well as more than 50 current and former Acadia employees.
Last month, Acadia <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/26/health/acadia-doj-settlement-fbi.html">agreed to pay</a> almost $20 million to settle Justice Department claims that the company had defrauded government health insurers by holding patients longer than medically necessary and admitting people who didn't need to be there. Acadia did not acknowledge wrongdoing in that case, which covered conduct from 2014 through 2017.
The fresh round of investigations are focused on recent events. The veterans agency is looking into whether Acadia billed insurance programs for patients who were stable enough to be released and did not need intensive inpatient care, according to two of the people with knowledge of the investigation, who requested anonymity because it has not been made public.
Several former Acadia employees in Georgia and Missouri have also recently been interviewed by agents from the F.B.I. and the inspector general's office of the Health and Human Services Department.
