For-profit hospital operators were stuck in a post-election hangover last week, as six of the seven major publicly traded companies lost share value.
Dallas-based Tenet Healthcare was the only one to report stock gains, and only a modest gain at that — less than 1 percent.
Here are the five-day stock prices and percentage changes for the week of Nov. 12 through Nov. 16, 2012.
• Community Health Systems (Franklin, Tenn.): $28.58 per share (down 0.14 percent)
• Health Management Associates (Naples, Fla.): $7.75 per share (down 3.79 percent)
• Hospital Corporation of America (Nashville, Tenn.): $30.50 per share (down 6.71 percent)
• LifePoint Hospitals (Brentwood, Tenn.): $35.34 per share (down 3.71 percent)
• Tenet Healthcare (Dallas): $26.39 per share (up 0.88 percent)
• Universal Health Services (King of Prussia, Pa.): $41.62 per share (down 3.96 percent)
• Vanguard Health Systems (Nashville, Tenn.): $10.54 per share (down 7.21 percent)
