The company repurchased 1.35 million shares for about $144 million and disclosed a tentative settlement of the Cumberland Hospital litigation.
Why it matters
The modest revenue growth and EPS beat are offset by lower profit margins, which may pressure the stock price (Investing.com notes the EPS beat of $0.02) (5). The share buyback returns capital to shareholders, while the settlement reduces litigation risk (2).
