The short answer

PZENA INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT LLC filed a Schedule 13G on Oct 19, 2026, reporting 2,639,500 shares, or 5.1% of the class of Universal Health Services. The filing came 64 days after the company’s Jul 28, 2026 results announcement. It reports ownership, not when any shares were bought.

What did Pzena file?

The SEC Schedule 13G reports that PZENA INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT LLC held 2,639,500 shares, equal to 5.1% of the class of Universal Health Services (UHS), as of the filing dated Oct 19, 2026.

A Schedule 13G is an ownership filing. The reported stake does not establish when the filer acquired shares or identify a trade date.

How close was the filing to company results?

The filing was made 64 days after Universal Health Services announced results on Jul 28, 2026, in an 8-K Item 2.02. The timing places the ownership report after the results announcement, but the filing does not explain a relationship between the events.

What do other filings show about UHS holders?

Fund 13F filings recorded in the 90 days to Oct 19, 2026 show 5 new or larger positions and 2 smaller or closed positions in Universal Health Services. These reports give additional ownership context, but they do not supply transaction dates.

For the quarter ended Jun 30, 2026, the largest positions that grew included Pzena Investment Management LLC, which increased its position by 57,092 shares, and LSV Asset Management, which increased by 171,890 shares. The largest positions that shrank included United Super Pty Ltd in its capacity as Trustee for the Construction & Building Unions Superannuation Fund and Aviva PLC, both of which sold out. A 13F is a quarter-end snapshot with no trade date.

What else was reported around the filing date?

FINRA short interest for UHS on the settlement date of Sep 30, 2026 was 2,556,807 shares, down 6.02% on the previous report, or about 2.84 days of average volume. UHS closed at $174.26 on Sep 30, 2026, the last session on or before the filing date.

From Aug 31, 2026 to Sep 30, 2026, the close moved from $170.33 to $174.26, a change of +2.3%. From Sep 30, 2026 to Oct 16, 2026, the close moved from $174.26 to $185.10, a change of +6.2%. These price moves are context only and do not explain the ownership filing.

Finnhub listed Yahoo coverage titled “Universal Health Services, Inc. Announces Date and Time Change for Third Quarter 2026 Earnings Release and Conference Call” on Oct 9, 2026; “Universal Health Services CEO on Talkspace Acquisition and Behavioral Health Growth” on Oct 7, 2026; and “Universal Health Services, Inc. Announces Date for Third Quarter 2026 Earnings Release and Conference Call” on Oct 5, 2026. The headlines are listed as published by the outlets; OQRO has not checked them or summarized the articles.

What this does not tell you?

A Schedule 13D or 13G is an ownership filing, not a trade, and it does not say when shares were bought. The reported price moves are context only: the filing does not explain them, and other news can move a price.

This describes public filings and records. It is not investment advice. More information about the company is available on Universal Health Services on OQRO.
