Harbor Health Care ETF

MEDI

Market cap $21M

The volatile sector is seeing greater stability, and these four stocks can profit.

The Health Care sector rebounded in the first quarter of 2025, navigating a volatile but opportunistic landscape. During the first quarter, the Harbor Health Care ETF returned 2.18% (NAV), outperforming the Russell 3000® Growth Health Care Index, which returned 1.99%. Relative performance was driven by our overweight in commercial-stage biotechnology, as well as solid contributions from health care services.

Eli Lilly and Company (LLY) posted robust fourth-quarter 2023 earnings, beating estimates on both the top and bottom lines driven by strong sales of its diabetes and weight-loss treatments.

The largest U.S. health insurer UnitedHealth Group (UNH) reported better-than-expected fourth-quarter 2023 results but medical costs rose more than expected for the first time in two years.
