Sign InAmid a search for value in the U.S. equity markets, HCA Healthcare, S&P Global, and Progressive Corp have emerged as potential opportunities due to their fundamental undervaluation. According to reports, HCA Healthcare shares rose 4.4% to $410.50, with estimates suggesting the stock remains 9.2% undervalued relative to its fair value. S&P Global shares gained 6.0%, supported by $2.6 million in insider buying, while Progressive Corp climbed 3.1% despite $3.4 million in insider selling which has raised some caution.
These movements occur as financial services and healthcare firms maintain stable cash flows, with S&P Global's previous quarterly results showing robust growth in its data and analytics segments. Compared to peers, Moody's (MCO) trades at higher valuation multiples, enhancing the relative appeal of SPGI per market data. Analysts note that the insurance sector, represented by PGR, is benefiting from premium rate hikes, though recent insider selling may reflect profit-taking following recent price appreciation.
Traders should monitor current price levels, with SPGI closing at $414.97 and HCA at $393.24 (close July 1, 2026). Looking at the economic calendar, Michigan Consumer Sentiment and inflation expectations data released on June 26 could impact risk appetite in the retail and financial sectors. Additionally, upcoming speeches from Fed officials will be critical for determining the interest rate trajectory, which directly influences the valuation of both growth and value stocks.
