NEW YORK (AP) Standard & Poor's Ratings Services on Tuesday raised its outlook on HealthSouth Corp., an inpatient rehabilitation services provider, to "Positive" from "Stable."
Standard & Poor's said the Birmingham, Ala., company benefits from a competitive advantage, along with positive demographic trends and industry characteristics. The company has reduced its debt and increased its cash flow, which leaves it with less risk, said S&P. It noted that reimbursement conditions are still difficult. The agency kept a "junk" corporate credit rating of "B'' on HealthSouth, which is five notches below investment grade status. In aftermarket trading, HealthSouth shares were unchanged at $12.10.- Loading Comments...
