Johnson & Johnson, UnitedHealth Group, and Intuitive Surgical are the three Healthcare stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Healthcare stocks are shares of publicly traded companies involved in the development, manufacture, distribution and delivery of medical goods and services — including pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, medical devices, hospitals and clinics, insurers, and contract research organizations. Investors treat them as a distinct sector because performance is driven by factors like regulation, drug approvals and patent cycles, demographic trends and medical innovation, often giving the sector defensive characteristics in downturns but with company-specific R&D and regulatory risk. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Healthcare stocks within the last several days.
