The Bullish Bears break down a list of the largest healthcare stocks and ETF list. Healthcare is a large and growing industry, with about $8.3 trillion spent globally and about $3.8 trillion spent in the U.S. There are several types of healthcare stocks, including drug stocks (companies that develop drugs), medical device stocks (companies that make medical devices), payer stocks (companies that charge premiums for healthcare coverage), and healthcare provider stocks (companies that deliver healthcare services).
To find good healthcare stocks, you should consider a company’s growth prospects, financial strength, leadership and management, and valuation. You should also consider the risks involved in investing in healthcare stocks, such as regulatory risks, clinical trial failures, and competition.
