American Healthcare (AHR) Shares Soar 2.04% on Strong Earnings

American Healthcare (AHR) shares surged to a record high today, with an intraday gain of 2.04%.

The strategy of buying AHR shares after they reached a recent high and holding for 1 week yielded moderate returns over the past 5 years, with a 3.5% annualized return and a 14.2% total return as of May 8, 2025. However, the strategy underperformed the S&P 500, which had a 10.5% annualized return and a 57.4% total return over the same period. This suggests that while the strategy showed some stability, it did not capitalize on broader market growth.

Morgan Stanley recently raised its price target for AHR from $37 to $45, while maintaining an Overweight rating on the shares. This move reflects a strong vote of confidence from a major financial institution, further bolstering investor sentiment towards AHR.
