Direct Answer

Universal Health Services's fiscal 2025 filings show no reading on these measures that stands out from common thresholds. These figures measure financial risk only; the business risks Universal Health Services itself considers material are listed under Item 1A, Risk Factors, of its Form 10-K, most recently filed February 25, 2026.

Where Are Universal Health Services's Official Risk Factors?

The risks Universal Health Services considers material are disclosed in Item 1A of its Form 10-K, most recently filed February 25, 2026. Read them with three questions in mind: which risks are specific to this company rather than generic, which have changed since the prior year's filing, and which connect to the figures above (a refinancing risk matters more when interest coverage is thin).

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

Is Universal Health Services highly leveraged?

Universal Health Services did not report both total liabilities and total assets under the standard tags, so the ratio is not computed here.

Where are Universal Health Services's official risk factors?

In Item 1A, Risk Factors, of its annual report on Form 10-K, most recently filed with the SEC on February 25, 2026. The company lists the risks it considers material there; the measures on this page only quantify the financial side.

Can Universal Health Services pay its interest?

In fiscal 2025, operating income covered interest expense 12.8x. Coverage below about 3x leaves little room if earnings fall.
