I need to compare two healthcare companies using the information provided in the tables below. I can't determine what factors lead me to which company is more financially sound overall. I read that a price to book ratio of around one or below is considered a good thing but then was shocked to see that HCA has a price to book ratio of 52.6 one year. Does that indicate something very bad? How can I tell which company is better financially overall using the information provided? Also, what does the Price/Earnings to Growth indicate as far as financial stability or outlook for the future?
