UnitedHealth Group, Eli Lilly and Company, and Hims & Hers Health are the three Medical stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Medical stocks are shares of publicly traded companies that operate in the healthcare and medical industries—including pharmaceutical and biotechnology firms, medical device makers, hospitals and health systems, diagnostic labs, and healthcare service providers. Investors buy them to gain exposure to demand for treatments and services; their prices are often driven by drug approvals and clinical-trial outcomes, regulatory and reimbursement changes, patent expirations, and demographic and policy trends, which can create both growth potential and binary, company-specific risk. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Medical stocks within the last several days.
