About Sonic Healthcare Ltd

Sonic Healthcare is a medical diagnostics company based in Australia. It runs pathology laboratories that analyse blood and tissue samples for doctors and hospitals, and it provides radiology services such as imaging scans. The company also offers clinical and administrative support to medical practices. Its customers are mainly general practitioners, specialists, hospitals and other healthcare providers who rely on its testing and diagnostic services in the countries where it operates.

The shares are listed on the Australian Securities Exchange in Australia under the code SHL, and the price on this page is in Australian dollars (AUD). Our dividend records, which start in 2019, show payments in 8 different calendar years. The Market X-Ray on this page is price-based and compares it with other stocks on the same exchange; it does not measure how healthy the business is.

Oscillators use the usual thresholds (RSI 30/70, Stochastic 20/80, CCI ±100, Williams %R −80/−20; MACD and momentum above zero are bullish). Weekly and monthly views use closing prices only.
