RBC Sees Limited Exposure to Medicaid Risks for Tenet (THC), Reiterated $189 Target
Tenet Healthcare Corporation (NYSE:THC) is one of the 20 undervalued momentum stocks that are taking off. On June 11, RBC Capital analyst Ben Hendrix reiterated a Buy rating on Tenet Healthcare (THC), maintaining a price target of $189. The reaffirmation follows recent volatility in hospital stocks triggered by a White House memo regarding Medicaid supplemental payment programs. While the memo raised concerns, particularly around potential reductions in state-directed payments, Hendrix views the market reaction as overdone. He notes that the language in the memo aligns with that in the current budget bill that allow for the continuation, or 'grandfathering,' of existing programs. Therefore, in his view, the memo does not introduce any new or material headwinds for hospital earnings. A successful healthcare provider smiling confidently in a modern hospital facility. Hendrix sees the pullback in hospital names as a buying opportunity, especially for acute care providers like HCA Healthcare, Community Health, Ardent Health, and, notably, Tenet. He believes Tenet is well-positioned due to its relatively lower exposure to the Medicaid-directed payment programs that have come under scrutiny. This could help the company remain insulated, and do relatively better compared to its peers. Therefore, Tenet remains the analyst's top pick in the hospital sector. He believes that the recent weakness in the stock offers a more attractive entry point for long-term investors. Tenet Healthcare Corporation (NYSE:THC) is a diversified healthcare services company that operates a nationwide care delivery network, including ambulatory surgery centers, surgical hospitals, and a national portfolio of acute care and specialty hospitals.

'Vuilbek' Hendrix the parrot a hit at animal shelter
Hendrix, a blue-and-gold macaw, often used foul language at the Forever Paws Animal Shelter in Fall River, Massachusetts. Image: Forever Paws Animal Shelter/The Washington Post Animal shelter employees were enjoying a rare quiet moment in the lobby when a yell came from a room designated for small animals: 'Shut the f--- up.' Four employees looked at one another in confusion. Then the shriek came again. The culprit? Hendrix, a blue-and-gold macaw who came to the shelter the prior month, surrendered by his longtime owner. The cursing only became louder after that late-May afternoon. Chantelle Rogers, administrative assistant at the Forever Paws Animal Shelter in Fall River, Massachusetts, was tasked with writing a blurb to help Hendrix get adopted. She opted for honesty. 'If you adopt Hendrix, you're basically adopting Samuel L. Jackson,' Rogers wrote on Facebook, referring to the actor who is known, in part, for his delivery of profanity-laced dialogue in movies. 'This bird's language is not for the faint of heart.' Her post only made people more interested. Thousands of people shared the post, which got traction for its candor and its humor. The next day, the shelter received a windfall of about 60 adoption applications, prompting employees to close applications that day. One person was soon selected, and Hendrix's new owner took the parrot home on June 21 after hearing the bird curse a few times. 'It's so quiet without him,' Rogers told The Washington Post. 'We do definitely miss him, but we know he's where he's supposed to be.' Hendrix first arrived at the shelter in April. He was surrendered to Fall River Animal Control by his prior owner of two decades, said Cynthia Berard-Cadima, the department's supervisor. Blue-and-gold macaws can live for more than 70 years, according to the Australia Zoo, and Rogers said Hendrix is about 30 years old. Rogers said the first person who came to mind when she saw the colourful macaw was the late singer and guitarist Jimi Hendrix. But many of Hendrix's feathers were missing on his roughly 3-foot-tall body and 40-inch-wide wingspan, Rogers said, probably due to malnutrition. The shelter mainly houses cats and dogs, so Hendrix was the only parrot in a room with a few rabbits and a guinea pig. Hendrix was initially scared of people, shaking when an employee approached his cage. The shelter bought Hendrix an extra-large Chewy pineapple toy that employees hung in the parrot's cage and discovered the bird's favorite treats: strawberries, blueberries, dried bananas and peanuts. A few weeks after arriving, Hendrix began opening up, saying 'cracker' when the parrot wanted a dried banana chip and 'thank you' when he received one. Hendrix once told Rogers: 'Good morning, baby.' Hendrix chirped when he wanted attention and tried to mimic barking noises he heard from the shelter's dogs. Near the end of May, employees heard Hendrix curse for the first time. After that, Hendrix used more vulgar language - and said it louder. A new employee was cleaning Hendrix's cage near the beginning of June when the parrot cursed at him. Employees told customers that if they hear profanities, it's coming from a parrot who wants attention, not a person. Hendrix might've learned the vulgar words by hearing them in his previous home, Rogers said, but his foul language probably meant he was becoming more comfortable at the shelter. Hoping to discourage Hendrix's language, employees turned around or left the room to laugh after Hendrix cursed. 'How do you not laugh at that? Like, the bird just cussed you out,' Rogers, 32, said with a laugh. 'So, like, you have to react at some point.' While his language remained salty, Hendrix grew new feathers by eating soft-pellet bird food. By mid-June, Rogers said, Hendrix was ready to be adopted. 'One day he will call you baby and the next day he's calling you MFer I guess is the politest way to type it out,' Rogers wrote on Facebook on June 11. 'He says thank you when you give him snacks but will also tell you to shut up.' 'This bird is rated R, parental advisory required, a real sour patch kid if one side was sugar and the other side was arsenic,' Rogers added. Rogers wrote near the end of the post that they sought an owner for Hendrix who has a cage and experience owning large birds. She added that the owner can't live in an apartment or have children 'because he is loud and explicit.' When one commenter asked whether the shelter can be more specific about the profanity Hendrix uses, Rogers replied: 'Facebook will ban me if I repeat them.' When Rogers went to work the following day, the shelter had received about 30 adoption applications from across the United States and Canada, and more would come in throughout the day. On June 12, nearly 28 hours after posting the advertisement, the shelter added to the top of its post 'APPLICATIONS NOW CLOSED!' 'And just like that, I learned way more about most people than I wanted to,' Rogers wrote on Facebook a few days later. Shelter employees narrowed the applicants to the five most qualified and invited them to meet Hendrix. One woman who already had a room and toys in her house for birds she previously owned was the perfect fit, Rogers said. When the owner took Hendrix home, Hendrix cursed a few times when employees moved his cage. After he left, the shelter became quieter; vulgar language no longer overlapped with dogs barking. Rogers said the owner emailed her a few days later, saying that Hendrix is beginning to feel comfortable. He might be ready to let a new torrent of obscenities fly.

'Tried to flush toilet paper in Asia?': US influencer family mocked over Airbnb meltdown
An American family travelling through Asia sparked backlash after sharing a video claiming they were kicked out of an Airbnb due to a clogged toilet. The Hendrix family from Chicago, who are full-time travellers and content creators, posted footage of their luggage left outside the property, along with a shot of the toilet filled with unflushed tissue. The family posted footage of their luggage left outside the property, along with a shot of the toilet filled with unflushed tissue.(Instagram/thehendrixtribe) 'Kicked out of our Airbnb. In a foreign country. With 3 kids. Over a clogged toilet,' the video caption read. According to the family, they had reported the flush wasn't working, but it wasn't fixed. They were told that 'in Southeast Asia, low water pressure is normal.' After several days of issues, they contacted Airbnb support. That's when the situation reportedly escalated. 'That's when the host lost it. Told us to leave and promised a refund. But we were already past the refund window,' the video caption continued. 'We didn't want to go.4 Airbnb had just opened an investigation. The next morning, he showed up yelling at our door, giving us 30 minutes to leave. No kindness. No refund. Just chaos.' Take a look at the video here: Internet roasts family The family managed to book a new Airbnb in the same complex later that day. But rather than receiving sympathy, the family was flooded with criticism online, with users accusing them of playing the victim. 'I find it really funny that you and your family always seem to be the perpetual victims in every post,' wrote one user. Another commented: 'So you tried to flush toilet paper in a country where everyone knows not to flush toilet paper, and then rather than unclogging the toilet yourselves, you turned it into an issue with the booking site. Yeah, I'd ask you to leave too.' A third explained: 'In some countries, the water pressure is pretty low, and they don't throw their toilet paper in the toilet. Especially Asian countries it's pretty common to have a separate bin to throw that stuff away.'
