Vht stock price sits just under $275

VHT stock price sits just under $275, with options market positioning showing bullish bias for the next two weeks. Healthcare industry growth forecasts remain at 5–6% annually through However, the sector has gotten riskier due to the rise of Eli Lilly, which has increased severalfold over the last few years and now sports a market cap of $719 billion at the time of this writing. That makes Eli Lilly the highest-weighted component in the Vanguard Health Care ETF, with a 10.5% weighting.

Additionally, it has returned 20% in the past six months . This reflects the resilience of healthcare equities during interest rate uncertainty.
