Estimates only. Not financial advice.
Lock-in-now is deterministic (0%). Plans that wait depend on future prices; risk is near-zero when inventory comfortably exceeds the goal. Volatility: each stack's option-implied vol if a ticker is set, otherwise 30%. Lognormal model; real markets have fatter tails.

The company operates acute-care hospitals and, more distinctively, one of the largest networks of behavioral health facilities in the United States and United Kingdom. Behavioral health carries different economics from general acute care: shorter capital requirements per bed, longer average stays, and reimbursement that varies sharply by payer and state. Staffing costs, particularly for nurses and clinicians, are the swing factor in margins. Regulatory scrutiny of behavioral facilities is a recurring operational risk. Headquarters are in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania.

Equity comp at Universal Health Services
- UHS RSU award agreements (under the 2020 Omnibus Stock and Incentive Plan) accelerate vesting in full upon a change in control alone, effective immediately prior to the deal closing, as long as the holder’s service has not already ended (single trigger, not double trigger). Separately, full acceleration also applies if awards are not assumed or substituted by the acquirer. Standard RSU grants vest over four years. Since 2024, named executives receive a mix of time-based RSUs (four-year vesting) and performance-based RSUs tied to three-year adjusted EBITDA growth. UHS also has a dual-class share structure (Class A public shares and Class B shares largely held by the Miller family), though this affects control and voting, not the RSU vesting mechanics for equity holders.
- RSUs use single-trigger vesting: shares become yours as each portion vests on schedule, and the value is taxed as ordinary income at that point. No IPO or acquisition is required.

If you hold vested Universal Health Services (UHS) shares and need a set amount of cash by a date (a house down payment, tuition, a sabbatical, a business buy-in), the question is which lots to sell and in which tax years to keep the most after tax. This calculator builds the minimum-tax sell schedule across your lots, accounting for federal long-term capital gains, the net investment income tax, and your state.
Example: a 5,000-share UHS position at $175.72 is worth $878,600. Say you need $150,000 of it for a house down payment by next spring. Selling enough shares all in one tax year can push the gain into the higher long-term capital-gains bracket and trigger the 3.8% net investment income tax; spreading the sale across two tax years often nets more. The calculator above finds the minimum-tax sell schedule across your specific lots, basis, goal, and date.

Universal Health Services equity questions
- How much UHS stock do I sell to fund a goal without overpaying tax?
- It depends on your cost basis, your target amount and date, and how the sale spreads across tax years. Selling vested UHS shares triggers long-term capital-gains tax, plus the 3.8% net investment income tax and state tax above certain income, and bunching a large sale into one year can push the gain into a higher bracket. The calculator above builds the minimum-tax sell schedule across your lots to net your target amount by your date.
- Does Universal Health Services grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
- Equity compensation at Universal Health Services typically takes the form of restricted stock units (RSUs). Restricted stock units are taxed as ordinary income when they vest.
- Do Universal Health Services RSUs use double-trigger vesting?
- No. Universal Health Services restricted stock units (RSUs) use single-trigger vesting: each tranche becomes yours as it vests on schedule, taxed as ordinary income at that point, with no liquidity event required.
