Among Swoopr's S&P 500 Equal Weight companies, 5 others share that classification; by latest reported revenue, Universal Health Services ranks 3 of 6. A filing classification is a starting point: a company's real competitors depend on its segments, which its 10-K describes. ## How Does Universal Health Services Compare With Its Peers? | Company | Revenue (latest FY) | Revenue growth | Operating margin | Net margin | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [HCA Healthcare (HCA)](https://www.getswoopr.com/stocks/companies/hca-healthcare/) | $75.6 billion FY2025 | 7.1% | n/a | 9.0% | | [Tenet Healthcare Corporation (THC)](https://www.getswoopr.com/stocks/companies/tenet-healthcare-corporation/) | $21.3 billion FY2025 | 3.1% | 16.5% | 11.1% | | **Universal Health Services (UHS)** | $17.4 billion FY2025 | 9.7% | 11.5% | 8.6% | | [Community Health Systems Inc.

Ranks run from 1 (highest) and use each company's latest fiscal year, in U.S. dollars. | Measure | Universal Health Services | Median of filers | Rank | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Revenue | $17.4 billion | $14.9 billion | 3 of 6 | | Revenue growth | 9.7% | 6.1% | 1 of 6 | | Net margin | 8.6% | 6.3% | 3 of 6 | A SIC code reflects the filer's main business as the SEC records it, so the group mixes companies of very different size; the median is a better guide than the average, and a rank near the top by revenue says nothing about quality. ## Where These Numbers Come From Every figure on this page is a value Universal Health Services reported in its own SEC filings, read from the SEC's XBRL data (accession 0001193125-26-071676 for fiscal year 2025). Ratios are computed from those reported values. Figures were retrieved on October 7, 2026; a later amendment or a new annual report can change them, and the filing itself always takes precedence over this summary. Each fiscal year is labeled by the calendar year in which it ended, so a company that names the same period differently in its own filings (many retailers whose year ends in January) may use another label. A year is left out of the table when the SEC data set holds no value for it. A figure shown as "Not reported" means the company did not file a value under the standard tag Swoopr reads, not that the amount was zero. This page is educational and describes reported history only; it is not a forecast or a recommendation. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Who are Universal Health Services's competitors?
