Surgery Partners agreed to sell Mountain View Hospital and Idaho Falls Community Hospital to Intermountain Health for about $1.15 billion, after which the stock rose roughly 5.8%. The company expects to receive approximately $795 million in consideration for its ownership interests and a substantial cash inflow at closing, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. The deal still requires various approvals, including physician consents and expiration of Hart‑Scott‑Rodino waiting periods; the partnership with Intermountain Health will remain in place and the physician ownership stake at Mountain View Hospital will be unchanged. Surgery Partners calls the transaction the largest step in its portfolio-optimization strategy, affirms its prior 2026 guidance (revenue $3.35–3.45 billion, adjusted EBITDA at least $530 million) and says it will disclose further details on the financial impact after closing. » Altro su de.investing.com
