HCA Healthcare Trading Volume Drops 57.34% Ranking 192th in Market Activity Despite 1.54% Stock Price Increase

On March 24, 2025, HCA Healthcare (HCA) saw a trading volume of $476 million, a 57.34% decrease from the previous day, ranking 192nd in the day's stock market activity. HCA's stock price increased by 1.54%.

Over the past year, several HCA Healthcare insiders have sold significant stakes in the company, which may have raised concerns among investors. While insider selling can sometimes be ambiguous, it is worth noting when multiple insiders are selling over a specific period. The Senior VP & Chief Human Resources Officer, Jennifer Berres, made the largest insider sale in the last 12 months, selling $3.1 million worth of shares at $323 each. This sale occurred when the share price was slightly below the current price of $329, which could be seen as a discouraging sign. However, it is important to note that this sale represented only 38% of Jennifer Berres's holding.

In the last three months, there has been significant insider selling at HCA Healthcare, with Jennifer Berres selling $3.1 million worth of shares and no purchases recorded. This trend suggests that insiders may not view the shares as a bargain at current prices. Despite this, HCA Healthcare insiders own about $1.1 billion worth of shares, which is 1.3% of the company. This level of insider ownership can be seen as a positive sign, as it aligns the interests of management with those of shareholders.
