--- title: "HCA Healthcare: Competitors" description: "HCA Healthcare compared with companies that share its SEC industry classification: revenue, growth and margins from SEC filings, and how peers are chosen." canonical: https://www.getswoopr.com/stocks/companies/hca-healthcare/competitors/ source: "Swoopr Investment: https://www.getswoopr.com" --- # HCA Healthcare: Competitors & Industry Structure ## Direct Answer SEC EDGAR classifies HCA Healthcare under SIC code 8062 (Services-General Medical & Surgical Hospitals, NEC). Among Swoopr's S&P 500 Equal Weight companies, 5 others share that classification; by latest reported revenue, HCA Healthcare ranks 1 of 6. A filing classification is a starting point: a company's real competitors depend on its segments, which its 10-K describes. ## How Does HCA Healthcare Compare With Its Peers? | Company | Revenue (latest FY) | Revenue growth | Operating margin | Net margin | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **HCA Healthcare (HCA)** | $75.6 billion FY2025 | 7.1% | n/a | 9.0% | | [Tenet Healthcare Corporation (THC)](https://www.getswoopr.com/stocks/companies/tenet-healthcare-corporation/) | $21.3 billion FY2025 | 3.1% | 16.5% | 11.1% | | [Universal Health Services (UHS)](https://www.getswoopr.com/stocks/companies/universal-health-services/) | $17.4 billion FY2025 | 9.7% | 11.5% | 8.6% | | [Community Health Systems Inc. (CYH)](https://www.getswoopr.com/stocks/companies/community-health-systems-inc/) | $12.5 billion FY2025 | -1.2% | 11.9% | 4.1% | | [Ardent Health Inc. (ARDT)](https://www.getswoopr.com/stocks/companies/ardent-health-inc/) | $6.3 billion FY2025 | 6.0% | n/a | 2.1% | | [Surgery Partners Inc. (SGRY)](https://www.getswoopr.com/stocks/companies/surgery-partners-inc/) | $3.3 billion FY2025 | 6.2% | 11.8% | -2.4% | Revenue growth compares each company's latest fiscal year with the one before. Fiscal years do not always end on the same date, so treat close comparisons with care. ## How Does HCA Healthcare Rank Among All SEC Filers in Its Industry Code? 6 companies with annual reports in Swoopr's SEC dataset share SIC code 8062 (Services-General Medical & Surgical Hospitals, NEC), a wider group than the S&P 500 Equal Weight companies above. Ranks run from 1 (highest) and use each company's latest fiscal year, in U.S. dollars. | Measure | HCA Healthcare | Median of filers | Rank | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Revenue | $75.6 billion | $14.9 billion | 1 of 6 | | Revenue growth | 7.1% | 6.1% | 2 of 6 | | Net margin | 9.0% | 6.3% | 2 of 6 | A SIC code reflects the filer's main business as the SEC records it, so the group mixes companies of very different size; the median is a better guide than the average, and a rank near the top by revenue says nothing about quality. ## Where These Numbers Come From Every figure on this page is a value HCA Healthcare reported in its own SEC filings, read from the SEC's XBRL data (accession 0001193125-26-044769 for fiscal year 2025). Ratios are computed from those reported values. Figures were retrieved on October 7, 2026; a later amendment or a new annual report can change them, and the filing itself always takes precedence over this summary. Each fiscal year is labeled by the calendar year in which it ended, so a company that names the same period differently in its own filings (many retailers whose year ends in January) may use another label. A year is left out of the table when the SEC data set holds no value for it. A figure shown as "Not reported" means the company did not file a value under the standard tag Swoopr reads, not that the amount was zero. This page is educational and describes reported history only; it is not a forecast or a recommendation. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Who are HCA Healthcare's competitors?

By the SEC Standard Industrial Classification code each company files under, within Swoopr's S&P 500 Equal Weight company set, falling back to the two-digit major group when fewer than two companies share the exact code.
