Healthcare Services Group (US4219061086) had a USD 1.5 billion market capitalization on October 6, 2026, while MarketBeat reported a Moderate Buy consensus from nine analysts on September 19, 2026. The average 12-month target was USD 26.50, giving the stock a valuation reference ahead of the next reporting date.

Nine analysts set USD 26.50 target

The analyst split covered six Buy ratings, one Strong Buy rating and two Hold ratings, according to MarketBeat on September 19, 2026. The same report said UBS raised its target from USD 27.00 to USD 30.00 on July 8, 2026, while Oppenheimer began coverage with an Outperform rating and a USD 28.00 target on August 19, 2026.

The range of targets matters because the consensus figure is not a single forecast. HCSG's reported operating performance therefore remains the central test for whether the expected valuation can be sustained.

Q3 revenue estimate reaches USD 480.80 million

For the three months ended June 30, 2026, Healthcare Services Group reported revenue of USD 470.81 million, net income of USD 22.70 million and diluted earnings per share of USD 0.32, according to Yahoo Finance on July 22, 2026. The earnings-per-share result exceeded the USD 0.22 consensus by USD 0.10, while revenue was below the USD 471.22 million estimate by USD 0.41 million.

Management reaffirmed a mid-single-digit revenue growth outlook for 2026 and gave third-quarter revenue expectations of USD 475 million to USD 485 million. A separate October 6, 2026 estimate put third-quarter revenue at USD 480.80 million and earnings per share at USD 0.24, with the figures representing analyst expectations rather than company results.
