Stock Track | Medibank Private Soars 7.19% Intraday After Government Approves Health Insurance Premium Hike

Stock Track

Feb 18

Medibank Private Ltd (ASX:MPL) saw its stock price soar 7.19% during intraday trading on Wednesday, marking a significant upward movement.

The sharp rise follows the Australian government's approval of an average premium increase of 4.4% for private health insurance, effective from April 1. This regulatory decision is viewed positively for insurers as it is expected to boost their revenue streams.

The broader sector also benefited from the news, with shares of other insurers like NIB Holdings registering gains during the session.
