Hedge Funds Bet Against Healthcare: Midterm Elections in Focus
Update: 2025-12-22
Description
Hedge funds, for the first time in 14 weeks, sold more U.S. healthcare stocks than they bought, according to Goldman Sachs. This shift coincides with expiring subsidies and rising costs, prompting President Trump to meet with health insurers. Hedge funds were net sellers in healthcare providers, services, pharmaceuticals, and biotech firms, except for life sciences tools and healthcare technology. Short bets outnumbered long positions by more than eight to one, indicating a bearish outlook. Rising healthcare and consumer costs, a significant issue in the upcoming midterm elections, could impact the sectors volatility.
