HCA Healthcare (HCA) reported that recent hurricanes had and will have negative impacts on results, and shares slumped about 10% Friday afternoon.

HCA stock dived after the hospital operator missed Q3 estimates, blaming hurricanes for the miss and muted outlook. Here's what else may worry investors.

Third-quarter results came in below expectations, and the hospital operator expects hurricanes to impact the current quarter as well.

HCA is expecting Hurricane Helene's impact on facilities in North Carolina and Hurricane Milton's impact on facilities in Florida in October to shave 60 cents to 90 cents off fourth-quarter EPS.

HCA Healthcare beat Wall Street estimates for quarterly profit on Friday, helped by an increase in hospital admissions and lower-than-expected labor costs.
