[BRIEFING.COM] The S&P 500 (-0.7%), Nasdaq Composite (-1.3%), and DJIA (+0.2%) remain little changed from their previous levels.
The health care sector (+0.4%) is on pace to escape today's session with a gain despite earnings driving disparity across its components.
Centene (CNC 48.76, +5.26, +12.10%) is the best-performing S&P 500 name today after a significant beat on EPS and revenue expectations, which has boosted other managed care names such as UnitedHealth (UNH 368.94, +14.25, +4.02%) and Humana (HUM 231.24, +7.44, +3.32%).
Meanwhile, Zimmer Biomet (ZBH 83.22, -9.36, -10.11%) is the worst-performing S&P 500 component despite topping EPS expectations and raising FY26 EPS guidance.
