Shares of Guardant Health (GH.O) reached a 5-day high today, reflecting a growing investor preference for healthcare stocks over traditional tech equities. This shift comes as the sector benefits from robust earnings reports and positive technical trends, with Guardant Health itself reporting a remarkable 38% year-over-year revenue growth and recent FDA approval for a new breast cancer diagnostic tool. The stock's upward momentum is further supported by the overall market trend, as investors seek stability in healthcare amidst volatility in tech stocks. With strong performances from peers like Cardinal Health and Abivax, GH.O is well-positioned to capitalize on this favorable market sentiment.
