Health Management Associates, Inc., HMA ,HMA Second Quarter Profit Rose by 91 Percent

Health Management Associates, Inc.

Health Management Associates Inc, which operates general acute-care hospitals in non-urban communities, released reports last Monday of its second-quarter profit which has gained a market high of 91 percent compared with earnings from the same quarter last year where stocks were dampened by losses from discontinued operations.

Quarterly earnings rose to $32.6 million, or 13 cents per share, this to compare from $17.1 million, or 7 cents per share during the same quarter of last year. Last year profit was significantly down from the company’s losses due to discontinued operations totaling 4 cent per share.

Precisely the Euro could still create a center of attention selling pressure. The current two-day rally has not taken out any significant tops to signal strong buying. The charts indicate that this market has completed a technical retracement.
