A popular exchange-traded fund that tracks the health-care sector saw its best daily return in 10 months on Friday after the Trump administration proposed new rules aimed at making health-care prices more transparent. The SPDR Health Care Select Sector ETF posted a 2.1%, marking its best day since Jan. 4, when it rose 2.98%, according to FactSet data. The Trump administration proposed a rule that would require health insurers to disclose estimated out-of-pocket costs, including negotiated rates, to patients in advance of a procedure or office visit. It also finalized a rule requiring hospitals to make transparent the prices they charge patients starting in 2021. It's possible that the stocks gained on doubts on how the rules would be enforced. "While the Trump administration's new hospital price transparency requirement is quite sweeping, the enforcement of it is quite weak - a maximum fine of $300 per day," Kaiser Family Foundation executive Larry Levitt wrote on Twitter. Shares of UnitedHealth Group Inc. , which is the largest health insurer in the U.S., and Anthem Inc. each rose roughly 5%. Shares of Tenet Healthcare Corp. and HCA Healthcare Inc. , both large hospital operators, were up at least 2%. The S&P 500 is up 24.4% year-to-date.

MedMen Enterprises Inc. , a U.S. marijuana retail chain, announced Friday afternoon that it is cutting more than 20% of its staff and looking to sell some of its assets amid a cash crunch. MedMen said it would lay off 190 workers, scale back marketing and outsource functions such as human relations in an effort to reduce spending on selling, general and administrative efforts to an annualized rate of $85 million. In the fiscal year that ended June 29, MedMen reported general and administrative costs of $244 million and sales and marketing expenses of $27.5 million. MedMen also announced that it has agreed to sell its stake in a pot-focused real estate investment trust for $14 million, exit various venture investments for a net return of $8 million, and will look to sell "certain operations and licenses in states that are currently deemed not critical to the company's retail footprint." MedMen also will slow down on certain planned initiatives, including indefinitely postponing some retail buildouts and expansions, renegotiating a previous acquisition to turn a $15 million cash payout into $10 million in stock, and slowing down M&A activity. MedMen said at the end of its last fiscal year that it had less than $34 million in cash and equivalents, after burning through $45.4 million in a year that included several financing activities. MedMen's over-the-counter shares have lost more than 65% of their value in 2019.
