Healthcare stocks are shares of publicly traded companies that operate in the medical and health-related industries, including pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, medical-device manufacturers, hospital systems, insurers, and health-service providers. For stock market investors, these equities offer exposure to demand driven by aging populations and ongoing medical innovation and are often viewed as relatively defensive because healthcare demand is less sensitive to economic cycles. They also carry sector-specific risks such as regulatory approval processes, patent expirations, reimbursement changes, and high R&D uncertainty. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Healthcare stocks within the last several days.
