HCA Holdings Inc.
Thesis
HCA is significantly undervalued, trading at approximately 8.5x EBITDA compared to healthcare REITs that trade between 16x and 25x EBITDA. By spinning off its real estate into a PropCo, HCA shareholders could unlock hidden value. The stock has a potential upside of ~75% over the next three years, translating to a 21% IRR, with a favorable risk-reward ratio.
Did it work?
The thesis that HCA was undervalued and could unlock hidden value through a spin-off has played out significantly, with the stock appreciating by 417% since the pitch. This performance far exceeds the projected upside of 75% over three years, confirming the thesis's validity and demonstrating a favorable risk-reward ratio. The substantial return over the elapsed time supports a high confidence in this outcome.
