Shareholders
5
HCA Healthcare, Inc. common stock is widely held. As a New York Stock Exchange-listed company, it is required under SEC rules to disclose only shareholders exceeding beneficial-ownership reporting thresholds, not a complete shareholder register. Per Schedule 13G filings, Vanguard-affiliated entities reported beneficial ownership of approximately 5.25% of common stock (11,746,315 shares) as of 31 March 2026, filed 30 April 2026; aggregated Vanguard Group beneficial ownership was reported elsewhere at approximately 6.38% following an internal realignment of Vanguard’s SEC-reporting entities effective January 2026. BlackRock, Inc. most recently disclosed beneficial ownership of approximately 4.9% of shares (12,133,287 shares) as of 25 April 2025. These are passive institutional holdings reported under Schedule 13G, not shareholder-of-record data, and exclude numerous additional holders below the 5% disclosure threshold.
Separate registry-linked shareholder data associated with this profile lists several index funds, each shown holding low single-digit percentages as of 4 September 2026. Those percentage figures could not be reconciled against HCA Healthcare, Inc.’s actual outstanding share count and are substantially higher than the equivalent stakes reported in the company’s own SEC Schedule 13G filings for comparable holders. They are treated as unverified for this profile and are not repeated here.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
No individual has been identified as an ultimate beneficial owner of HCA Healthcare, Inc. As a widely held, NYSE-listed public company with no disclosed holder exceeding approximately 6% of shares, HCA Healthcare, Inc. does not have a UBO in the sense used for privately held companies.
Data availability
Shareholder information for HCA Healthcare, Inc. is classified as Major shareholders only: SEC rules require disclosure of holders above 5% of outstanding shares via Schedule 13D or 13G, but the complete shareholder register is not publicly available.
