What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorBenzinga reports RBC Capital maintained Outperform on HCA Healthcare and raised its price target from four hundred thirty-five dollars to four hundred ninety-six dollars.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorBenzinga also says Barclays kept Equal-Weight on CME Group and lifted its target from two seventy to two eighty-one.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe Dow is down almost one percent.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHank, a red screen and an analyst says go higher. That's a hospital bill with good news attached. I'm weeping with joy.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorA target is a guess in a nice suit, Vera. Hospitals only thrive when people are ill, so your gift is somebody's appendix.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThat is an opinion, Dale, and a gross one. It is an analyst call, not a forecast, and certainly not advice.
