S&P 500 Stocks: GEHC Revives, Humana Fades On Earnings

GE HealthCare Technologies ran at the top of the S&P 500 Wednesday morning, while Humana was among major laggards after both companies posted better-than-expected Q2 earnings signaling a return to profit growth. GEHC broke above its recent trading range that followed its dive on Q1 results. Wednesday's stock action was pretty much the reversal of what we've seen this year for GEHC and HUM, with medical equipment stocks among the market's worst-performing industry groups and managed-care stocks ranked in the top tier.
