Value in Health Care stocks fell 1.5 percent on June 30 from the previous day.

The strongest performing Health Care company in Indiana was Elanco Animal Health Inc. (ELAN:NYQ), sitting 392 percent higher to sell at $19.63.

Zimmer Biomet Holdings Inc. (ZBH:NYQ) experienced the smallest increase in share price among Indiana companies, rising 16.9 percent to sell at $105.06.

Among Indianapolis companies, POINT Biopharma Global Inc. (PNT:NAQ) saw the highest rise in value of 120.1 percent on June 30.

The Utilities sector was the daily best-performing sector on the market.

Financials was the worst-performing sector.

Healthcare and technology stocks are viewed as the safest bets for long-term gains.

Besty Kuekcer with Benzinga.com said healthcare-related stocks, such as hospital conglomerates and insurance companies, have weathered numerous economic crises and still make a profit, suggesting that they are generally a stable investment.

While technology stocks can be more risky, given the boom-bust nature of new tech companies, Kuecker recommended a diverse portfolio of tech companies to strike it big when companies succeed or sell to other larger companies.

For short-term investments, Kuecker recommended “consumer discretionary” stocks, which are sensitive to economic changes but can rise greatly on the back of a strong economy.

Nothing in this article is to be assumed as financial advice.
