The industry itself · before any single company
How has Medical Care Facilities moved against S&P 500?
The line below covers 5.2 years. Over the most recent two of them this industry is 16% ahead of S&P 500. Earnings across its companies grew 7% on average over the last four reported quarters — close to flat. It has been ahead of S&P 500 on a rolling three-month view for 30 weeks running.

Participation is not spreading downward this month; the larger companies are still carrying most of it.
Both lines start at 200 in the same week, so the distance between them is the whole story: the industry line is an equal-weighted index of its 39 companies. The bars underneath are trailing 12-month earnings per share, one bar per reported quarter, each member rebased to 100 at the start and the industry taking the median — so a price line pulling away from flat bars is a re-rating, not earnings. A bar turns red when that figure is lower than the quarter before. Rules are fixed and applied identically everywhere on this site: ahead by 5% or more over three months, or behind by 20% or more over a year while earnings grew 20% or more. Hover any point to read both values and the gap. This is a description of what the numbers did, not advice.

4-Factor Sector Score
An additive sector-relative research score. The four displayed point contributions always equal the total: Growth & earnings (35), Capital efficiency (25), Valuation (20), and Relative strength (20). Missing or stale evidence is absorbed inside the affected factor, never applied as a hidden adjustment.
AMN Healthcare Services, Inc. has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 58.6% evidence confidence.
Select Medical Holdings Corporation looks inexpensive relative to peers or its own history, but its earnings trajectory has not yet earned the valuation signal.
National HealthCare Corporation has stronger price confirmation than earnings confirmation; that is a research prompt, not permission to chase.
Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. PEG is guarded: positive earnings, positive 5–60% three-year EPS growth, and a positive P/E are required.
Decision use: Fill the missing evidence before acting; the ranking is deliberately pulled toward neutral.

Investor read: Fresenius Medical Care AG is the scale benchmark; Astrana Health, Inc. is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns.
This conclusion weakens if: Fresenius Medical Care AG's growth falls below Astrana Health, Inc.'s for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses.
Revenue is compared on a common reported-currency basis. Growth is year-on-year, so seasonality does not masquerade as progress.

This conclusion weakens if: CAPEX rises without higher utilization, operating cash flow or incremental returns.
CAPEX is cash spent on property, plant, equipment and other reported capital assets. CAPEX intensity divides that spend by revenue; high intensity is a reinvestment signal, not proof that the reinvestment will earn attractive returns.

This conclusion weakens if: Net debt rises faster than revenue and profit for two consecutive reported periods.
Gross debt shows contractual borrowings. Net debt subtracts reported cash; a negative value means net cash. Lower debt can create capacity, but should be read against the scale and capital intensity of the business.

What can make this comparison misleading?
This Medical Care Facilities comparison names 4 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. All 30 companies here report on comparable dates, so no rank carries a stale marker. A high growth rate can still be a low-base artefact.
Keep these limits visible
A high growth rate can be a low-base artefact. The page keeps level and change separate for that reason.
A high ROCE can be temporary or flattered by a small capital base. Read it beside margin, cash conversion and reinvestment.
The 4-Factor Sector Score ranks research priority, not portfolio action. Management quality, catalysts and risks need equally fresh evidence before capital is deployed.
An “all companies” line chart preserves completeness, but rank changes should be checked against reporting dates before drawing a conclusion.

All 30 companies in the canonical Medical Care Facilities membership are listed below, largest market value first — nothing is silently dropped, even where a company reports too little to rank. 1 of these is no longer being priced, so its price and relative strength are frozen at the last traded week shown.
AHEAD means the company is beating the index by 5% or more over three months. LAGGING, FUNDAMENTALS UP means it is 20% or more behind over a year while its trailing twelve-month earnings grew 20% or more. Both rules are fixed and applied the same way in every sector.
This comparison is built from the reported filings of 30 Medical Care Facilities companies, normalized to a common $ scale and a shared quarter axis of up to 20 quarters each. Fundamentals run through Jun 2026 and market data through 2026-07-28. A second data feed fills gaps only after identity and scale reconciliation, and missing observations are never interpolated.

Every one is computed from the same 30 companies and the same reported filings as the rankings and charts, current through Jun 2026. Price and relative-strength answers run through 2026-07-28. Nothing here is estimated, and none of it is a recommendation.
Which Medical Care Facilities company is the biggest?

Which Medical Care Facilities company is growing fastest?
Astrana Health, Inc. has the fastest revenue growth at 56.8% year on year, across 24 of 30 comparable companies. Fast growth off a small base is not the same as proven scale — check whether the rate holds across several quarters on the chart above before treating it as a trend.
Which Medical Care Facilities company has the best profit margins?
Tenet Healthcare Corporation has the highest operating margin at 23.2%, from 29 of 30 comparable companies. AMN Healthcare Services, Inc. shows the biggest recent improvement, at +6.7 percentage points. A high margin matters most when it is holding or rising, not when it is peaking.
Which Medical Care Facilities company makes the most profit?
Universal Health Services, Inc. earns the most, at $1,549 million of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 25 of 30 comparable companies. Fresenius Medical Care AG has the fastest profit growth at 43.7%, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed.
Which Medical Care Facilities company earns the highest return on capital?
Guardian Pharmacy Services, Inc. leads on return on capital employed at 7.8%, across 30 of 30 companies. Read it beside the length of its reported history: a high return that repeats for years is evidence of a durable business, while a single high reading can be a small capital base or one good year.
Which Medical Care Facilities stock is the cheapest?
On guarded PEG — where a LOWER number is cheaper — Universal Health Services, Inc. screens cheapest at 0.21×. Only 13 of 30 companies pass the comparability guard, so this is not a sector-wide "cheapest stock" verdict. Cheap on a multiple is a reason to investigate, never a reason to buy on its own.
Which Medical Care Facilities company has the strongest balance sheet?
Healthcare Services Group, Inc. carries the lowest comparable gross debt at $11 million, from 30 of 30 companies. Absolute rupee debt alone does not settle it, because company scale differs — net debt and debt-to-equity in the chart above carry more information, and a very low-debt balance sheet can also mean under-investment.
Which Medical Care Facilities company is investing most in new capacity?
HCA Healthcare, Inc. reports the largest capital spending at $1,231 million, across 30 of 30 companies. Spending consumes cash before it earns anything, so treat the ranking as a diligence queue: check commissioning, utilisation and the return earned on the completed assets before reading spend as value creation.

Which Medical Care Facilities stock has the strongest price momentum?
agilon health, inc. has the strongest relative strength against S&P 500. Relative strength answers last, after growth, quality and valuation: price can move well before the fundamentals confirm it, and sometimes without them confirming at all.
Which Medical Care Facilities company scores highest for research priority?
AMN Healthcare Services, Inc. scores 64.2 out of 100 with 58.6% evidence confidence, from 26.1 points on growth and earnings, 12.9 on capital efficiency, 9.3 on valuation and 15.9 on relative strength.
