Dow Jones

Yesterday

By Colin Kellaher

HCA Healthcare's board has raised the company's quarterly dividend by 8.3%, to 78 cents from 72 cents, and approved the repurchase of up to an additional $10 billion of stock.

The new payout, equal to $3.12 a year, represents an annual yield of about 0.66%, based on Monday's closing price of $472.38, up from 0.61%.

The Nashville, Tenn., healthcare-services company on Tuesday said the increased dividend is payable March 31 to shareholders of record March 17.

HCA, which sports a market capitalization of nearly $108 billion, spent about $2.56 billion in the fourth quarter to buy back more than 5.43 million shares and had $750 million remaining under its prior repurchase authorization at the end of 2025.
