How has Medical Care Facilities moved against S&P 500?
The line below covers up to 5.2 years and opens on the 5Y view; the buttons cut it shorter. Over the most recent two of them this industry is 17% 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 52 weeks running.
RS ↑52w · 30/38 >200d (+0) · 24/38 lead (−3) · EPS 25/37↑
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 38 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.

The central tension: the companies with the most scale are not necessarily the companies creating the most change.
Start with scale. Then earnings trajectory. Then business quality. Only after those three agree should price leadership carry much weight.

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.
How this score is built, and what the marks mean
Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. PEG is not shown when the ratio cannot mean anything: the company must be making a profit, its price-to-earnings must be positive, and its three-year earnings growth must fall between 5% and 60%. Dividing a price multiple by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, produces a number that looks precise and tells you nothing. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step curve the sector itself is placed on — basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep — read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is widening or shrinking. It describes where the PRICE stands, not the earnings trajectory and not a recommendation, and it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read.

Market action
PACS Group, Inc. has the strongest one-year price move in Medical Care Facilities at +256.9%. agilon health, inc. leads on Mansfield relative strength against the S&P 500 at +76.9%. 22 of 30 covered companies are above zero on that measure. Every line covers 314 weekly closes through 2026-09-16.
Every company, the sector's own index and S&P 500 all start level on the left edge of the window, so only the distance between the lines counts — the highest line has risen the most since then, and the chart at the top of this page is drawn the same way. It opens on one year; the buttons beside it stretch that to three or five.
How far ahead of or behind S&P 500 each company has been running, measured against its own recent average of that comparison, so the flat line at zero IS S&P 500: above it the company is beating the market, below it the market is beating the company. It opens on one year.
The same measure taken against Medical Care Facilities itself instead of the whole market, so the flat line at zero is the sector: above it the company is beating its own peers, which is the sharper test of the two. It opens on one year.

HCA Healthcare, Inc. has the highest Revenue among the 30 Medical Care Facilities companies compared here, at $78,013 million. Fresenius Medical Care AG is next at $19,359 million. Astrana Health, Inc. has the highest Revenue growth at 56.8%, so level and change sit with different companies. 20 of 30 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Jun 2026.
What the numbers say: HCA Healthcare, Inc. is the scale leader at $78,013 million, 303% ahead of Fresenius Medical Care AG. Astrana Health, Inc.'s growth is 56.8% from a $3,527 million base, with 19 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale.
Investor read: HCA Healthcare, Inc. 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: HCA Healthcare, Inc.'s growth falls below Astrana Health, Inc.'s for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses.

Investor read: Nutex Health Inc. sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it.
This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current roce change signal.

Valuation Against Growth & Quality
Fresenius Medical Care AG has the lowest PEG among the 30 Medical Care Facilities companies compared here, at 0.22×. HCA Healthcare, Inc. is next at 0.51×. Sonida Senior Living, Inc. has the lowest P/E at 1.92×, so level and change sit with different companies. 11 of 30 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.
What the numbers say: Fresenius Medical Care AG has the lowest comparable PEG at 0.22×, 56.9% below HCA Healthcare, Inc.. Only 11 of 30 companies have earnings and growth steady enough for the ratio to mean anything, so no broad “cheapest stock” conclusion is defensible unless the current multiple, own-history position and growth durability agree.
Investor read: Treat valuation as permission to investigate, never as a standalone reason to buy.
This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current p/e signal.

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.
How was this comparison built?
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 2026-09-16. A second data feed fills gaps only after identity and scale reconciliation, and missing observations are never interpolated.
Medical Care Facilities company comparison FAQs
These 22 answers restate the Medical Care Facilities comparison above in question form. 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 2026-09-16. Nothing here is estimated, and none of it is a recommendation.
Is the Medical Care Facilities sector outperforming S&P 500?
Medical Care Facilities has outperformed S&P 500 by 49.3% over 52 weeks and 15.2% over 13 weeks. 22 of 30 covered companies beat the S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength, while 10 of 30 beat the sector itself.
Which Medical Care Facilities company is largest by revenue?
HCA Healthcare, Inc. leads with revenue of $78,013 million, based on 20 of 30 comparable companies through Jun 2026.
Which Medical Care Facilities company is growing fastest?
Astrana Health, Inc. has the fastest current revenue growth at 56.8%, across 20 of 30 comparable companies.
Which Medical Care Facilities company has the strongest 4-Factor Sector Score?
Tenet Healthcare Corporation ranks first at 65.2/100 with 57.8% evidence confidence. The score prioritizes research; it is not a buy recommendation.
Which Medical Care Facilities company has the lowest comparable PEG?
Fresenius Medical Care AG has the lowest comparable PEG at 0.22, among 11 of 30 companies whose earnings and growth are steady enough for the ratio to mean anything.
How much history does this Medical Care Facilities comparison include?
The page compares up to 20 reported quarters per company for fundamentals, returns and valuation, ending Jun 2026. Missing observations remain blank rather than being estimated.
How is the 4-Factor Sector Score calculated?
The four visible contributions add directly: growth and earnings up to 35 points, capital efficiency up to 25, valuation up to 20, and relative strength up to 20. Missing or stale evidence moves only the affected contribution toward neutral.
Which Medical Care Facilities company is the biggest?
HCA Healthcare, Inc. is the largest, with trailing-twelve-month revenue of $78,013 million, ahead of Fresenius Medical Care AG at $19,359 million. That covers 20 of 30 companies with comparable reporting through Jun 2026.
Which Medical Care Facilities company has the best profit margins?
Nutex Health Inc. has the highest operating margin at 37.5%, from 29 of 30 comparable companies. Tenet Healthcare Corporation shows the biggest recent improvement, at +6.2 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?
HCA Healthcare, Inc. earns the most, at $7,853 million of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 21 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?
Nutex Health Inc. leads on return on capital employed at 12.1%, 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 PEG — where a LOWER number is cheaper — Fresenius Medical Care AG screens cheapest at 0.22×. Only 11 of 30 companies have earnings and growth steady enough for the ratio to mean anything, 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.
Is the Medical Care Facilities sector beating the market?
Medical Care Facilities has outperformed S&P 500 by 49.3% over the last 52 weeks and 15.2% over 13 weeks, measured on an equal-weight index of its current members. Inside the sector, 22 of 30 covered companies are beating the market on their own. Sector strength does not transfer evenly to every stock in it.
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?
Tenet Healthcare Corporation scores 65.2 out of 100 with 57.8% evidence confidence, from 24.1 points on growth and earnings, 16.4 on capital efficiency, 11 on valuation and 13.7 on relative strength. This ranks what deserves work next. It is not a buy recommendation, and management quality, catalysts and risk still need separate research.
How many Medical Care Facilities companies does this comparison cover, and over what period?
It compares 30 listed companies over up to 20 reported quarters of fundamentals, ending Jun 2026, plus weekly price and relative-strength history. Membership is the full sector list — nothing is dropped for having thin data.
What is the total market cap of the Medical Care Facilities sector?
The 30 Medical Care Facilities companies on this page carry $236,740 million of combined market value. HCA Healthcare, Inc. is the largest at $93,189 million, about 39% of the sector's total on its own. Market value moves with price, so this reading is dated 2026-09-16.
What is the Medical Care Facilities sector's P/E ratio?
The median price-to-earnings ratio across the 30 Medical Care Facilities companies on this page is 15.8×, measured on the 26 that report a comparable figure. A sector-level history for this multiple is not held here, so this is a cross-section of today, not a comparison with the sector’s own past. Figures are as of 2026-09-16.
How is the Medical Care Facilities sector performing?
22 of the 30 covered Medical Care Facilities companies are beating S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength. The sector itself is 49.3% ahead of S&P 500 over 52 weeks on an equal-weight index of its current members. Readings are as of 2026-09-16.
How many Medical Care Facilities stocks are listed in the US?
This comparison covers 30 listed Medical Care Facilities companies in the US, each above the size floor the site applies. The full ranked list is on this page, with reported fundamentals through Jun 2026. Membership is the full industry list — nothing is dropped for having thin data.
Why are some values on this page blank?
A blank means that company did not report a comparable figure for that period, so nothing is shown. Missing observations are never interpolated, carried forward, or replaced with a similar-looking accounting line, and a company with missing evidence has its research score pulled toward neutral rather than being scored as bad.
Is this investment advice?
No. Every figure here is a deterministic calculation from reported company filings and market data, published for research. It contains no recommendation to buy or sell any security, does not account for your circumstances, and is not a substitute for advice from a licensed adviser.
