[BRIEFING.COM] The S&P 500 (+0.13%) is in second place on Friday afternoon, billowing up from losses in the previous half hour.
Briefly, S&P 500 constituents Universal Health (UHS 172.49, -13.57, -7.29%), HCA (HCA 301.75, -19.19, -5.98%), and Walgreens Boots Alliance (WBA 10.63, -0.60, -5.34%) pepper the bottom of the standings.
