- **Price / sales: 5.7×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 5.7×.
- **Price / book: 3.9×**. The shares trade at 3.9× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 14.6×**. Enterprise value is 14.6× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.

## Profitability
- **Operating margin: 35.3%**. 35.3% of revenue is left after running the business, an exceptional level.
- **Net margin: 17.8%**. 17.8% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 11.6%**. 11.6% on shareholders' equity is solid.
- **Return on invested capital: 5.3%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 5.3%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: 3.4%**. Each dollar of assets produces 3.4% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 0.2%** (3-yr 3.1%/yr, 5-yr 4.9%/yr). Revenue grew 0.2% over the last year, against 4.9% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): -8.6%** (3-yr -6.0%/yr, 5-yr -2.1%/yr). Earnings per share fell 8.6%, slower than revenue, so margins compressed.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 2.46**. Debt is 2.46 times equity, a leveraged balance sheet, which is normal for real estate.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 5.7×**. It would take 5.7 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, above the 3× level most lenders treat as comfortable.

## Dividends
- **Dividend yield: 7.35%** ($2.98 per share, trailing). Universal Health Realty Income Trust yields 7.35%, high enough to check carefully: yields this high often precede a cut.
- **Payout ratio: 233%**. The dividend exceeds earnings (233% payout), which is rarely sustainable outside REITs and one-off years.
- **Consecutive years of increases: 26**. 26 straight years of increases (the data covers 26 years, so this may be longer): a record very few companies hold.
- **Dividend growth (5 yr): 1.4%/yr** (1-yr 1.4%). The dividend has grown 1.4% a year over five years.

- **200-day average: above**. The price sits above its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of an uptrend.
- **RSI (14-day): 42**. An RSI of 42 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): -0.03** (volatility 23%). Beta of -0.03 against the S&P 500: the shares move much less than the market.
