The HCA Holdings Inc stock price gained 0.94% on the last trading day (Monday, 17th Nov 2025), rising from $472.65 to $477.10. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.77% from a day low at $469.08 to a day high of $477.39. The price has risen in 6 of the last 10 days and is up by 3.37% over the past 2 weeks.

In total, 1 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $556.35 million.

The stock lies in the upper part of a strong rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good selling opportunity for the short-term trader as reaction back towards the lower part of the trend can be expected. A break-up at the top trend line at $483.77 will firstly indicate a stronger rate of rising. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 19.53% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $527.82 and $578.27 at the end of this 3-month period.
