After several weeks of sizable growth, stock prices at most for-profit hospital companies remained relatively tepid last week.
CHS is still growing the fastest of any for-profit hospital chain, as its shares grew another 5.3 percent. CHS will release its fourth-quarter and year-end results for 2012 after the close of trading Thursday.
HCA took another slight dive last week. For the second time in two months, Bain Capital Partners and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. — two of HCA's biggest investors — announced they would be selling off millions of HCA common shares, expecting to net them roughly $1.8 billion.
