Ramsay Health Care has reaffirmed its profit guidance for the current financial year, saying its hospitals continue to deliver admissions growth in line with the long-term trend.
Australia's largest private hospitals operator on Wednesday reiterated its August guidance for core net profit and core earnings per share growth of 10-12 per cent in FY17. The company delivered net profit of $450.3 million in 2015/16.
Ramsay shares have dropped nearly nine per cent over the past week, amid a battering of healthcare stocks following a surprise profit warning from rival private hospitals operator Healthscope.
