What is the Finder Score?
The Finder Score crunches 147 key metrics we collected directly from 18+ brokers and assessed each provider’s performance based on nine different categories, weighing each metric based on the expertise and insights of Finder’s investment experts. We then scored and ranked each provider to determine the best brokerage accounts.
We update our best picks as products change, disappear or emerge in the market. We also regularly review and revise our selections to ensure our best provider lists reflect the most competitive available.

Is HCA stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing HCA stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of HCA's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
HCA's P/E ratio
HCA's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 15x. In other words, HCA shares trade at around 15x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
HCA's PEG ratio
HCA's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.0205. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into HCA's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
HCA's EBITDA
HCA's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $13.9 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a HCA's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

HCA's environmental, social and governance track record
Environmental, social and governance (known as ESG) criteria are a set of three factors used to measure the sustainability and social impact of companies like HCA.
When it comes to ESG scores, lower is better, and lower scores are generally associated with lower risk for would-be investors.
HCA's total ESG risk score
Total ESG risk: 30.6
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and HCA's overall score of 30.6 (as at 12/31/2018) is nothing to write home about – landing it in it in the 49th percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like HCA is exposed to within the areas of "environmental" (carbon footprint, resource use etc.), "social" (health and safety, human rights etc.), and "governance" (anti-corruption, tax transparency etc.).
HCA's environmental score
Environmental score: 5.79/100
HCA's environmental score of 5.79 puts it squarely in the 7th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that HCA is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
HCA's social score
Social score: 19.86/100
HCA's social score of 19.86 puts it squarely in the 7th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that HCA is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.
HCA's governance score
Governance score: 12.44/100
HCA's governance score puts it squarely in the 7th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. That could suggest that HCA is a leader in its sector when it comes to responsible management and strategy, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
HCA's controversy score
Controversy score: 2/5
ESG scores also evaluate any incidences of controversy that a company has been involved in. HCA scored a 2 out of 5 for controversy – the second-highest score possible, reflecting that HCA has, for the most part, managed to keep its nose clean.

HCA share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 11.89% of net profits
Recently HCA has paid out, on average, around 0% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), HCA shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In HCA's case, that would currently equate to about $2.64 per share.
While HCA's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that HCA is investing more in its future growth.
HCA's most recent dividend payout was on 30 March 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 16 March 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").
HCA share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, HCA's shares have ranged in value from as little as $289.98 up to $416.2575. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while HCA's is 1.689. This would suggest that HCA's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
