HCA Healthcare (US40412C1018) stock traded at $417.57 as of August 28, 2026, after a 0.42% decline, and the move came with a market value of $90.40 billion.
The company posted $7.59 in earnings per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, topping the $7.56 consensus by $0.03, while quarterly revenue rose 8.7% year over year.
Quarterly numbers set the tone
The latest reported quarter remains the key anchor for the shares: earnings landed at $7.59 per share, revenue grew 8.7%, and the beat versus consensus was 0.4% on EPS. That combination matters for a stock that had already fallen 10.5% from its 2026 starting level, even after a 3.8% gain cited for August.
MarketBeat's stock page also showed a 52-week range of $273.38 to $556.52, which puts the August 28 close in the upper half of that band. The same page listed volume at 1.00 million shares and an average volume of 1.19 million shares.
Valuation stays in view
At a market capitalization of $90.40 billion and a price-to-earnings ratio of 13.98, the stock still trades at a valuation that investors will measure against the recent quarterly delivery. The dividend yield stood at 0.75% on the same stock snapshot.
For the shares, the June 30 quarter and the late-August price snapshot now sit side by side: $7.59 EPS, 8.7% revenue growth, and $417.57 a share. That is the clearest frame for the stock after the latest earnings update.
