Why HCA Healthcare Stock Is Jumping Today
Shares of HCA Healthcare (NYSE: HCA) were jumping 11.3% as of 11:25 a.m. EDT on Wednesday. The big gain came after the hospital operator announced its second-quarter results before the market opened.
On the surface, HCA's Q2 revenue performance might not have looked like anything to get excited about. The company's sales fell 12% year over year to a little under $11.1 billion. But this result was much higher than the average analyst Q2 revenue estimate of $9.91 billion.
