2257 GMT [Dow Jones]--Ramsay Health Care's bull at Macquarie sees an immediate pathway for it to improve performance at its newly acquired Canberra hospital. A note from one of the investment bank's analysts flags that the National Capital Private Hospital has been operating below its potential. The analyst outlines a belief that Ramsay's operating framework should provide a way to immediately lift throughput and efficiency without material incremental capital expenditure. The analyst sees the asset delivering a steady build in revenue and earnings as volumes and workflows improve, supported by procurement and labor benefits. Macquarie lowers its target price 3.8% to A$43.40 and keeps an outperform rating on the stock, which is at A$40.21 ahead of the open. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
