Healthcare stocks are shares of publicly traded companies that operate in medical and health-related industries—pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, medical-device makers, hospitals and health systems, insurers, and providers of diagnostics and clinical services. Investors often treat them as both defensive (steady demand regardless of economic cycles) and growth-oriented (driven by innovation and aging populations), while weighing sector-specific risks like regulatory approval, clinical-trial results, patent expirations, and reimbursement policy.
