Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Steven Halper reiterated a Buy rating on R1 RCM Inc (NASDAQ: RCM) today and set a price target of $10. The company’s shares opened today at $8.46, close to its 52-week high of $9.40.
Halper observed:
“We reaffirm our OW rating on RCM. R1 is a pure-play, revenue-cycle management provider that owns and operates a number of technology platforms in a market we project will grow to almost $70B by 2020. In addition, increasing consolidation in the healthcare market is likely to drive growth in outsourcing to $7.7B by 2020. We believe R1 is positioned to benefit from an expanded relationship with its long-standing customer, Ascension. Although Ascension is an important customer, it is also a significant shareholder, which offsets, in our opinion, the customer concentration risk.”
