On October 30, DaVita HealthCare Partners fell 6.63% in Pre-Market Trading, trading at $181.875 per share, with turnover of $173,700.
The move followed the company’s latest quarterly report: third-quarter adjusted EPS was $3.82, above the $3.57 to $3.61 market expectation, while revenue reached $3.58 billion, also ahead of the roughly $3.51 billion to $3.52 billion consensus. However, full-year adjusted EPS guidance was only raised to $14.30-$15.20 from $14.10-$15.20, with the upper end unchanged and the midpoint still close to expectations, limiting investor enthusiasm despite the earnings beat.
Additional disclosure showed DaVita HealthCare Partners repurchased 382,563 shares from Berkshire Hathaway. While that update may support capital return optics, the immediate price reaction appears primarily tied to the modest guidance lift after a stronger-than-expected quarter.
