HSIC Stock and Options Trade Setup — Henry Schein Inc.
Nasdaq 100 · Healthcare Distribution (Dental & Medical) · Moderate-liquidity options · Large cap · ~$10B
Henry Schein holds an unrivalled distribution moat in the dental office supply market — its logistics network, product breadth, and sales relationships make it the default single-source supplier for the independent dental practice, where switching costs are embedded in clinic workflow software and ordering habits. The dental market is structurally growing as ageing demographics increase restorative procedure demand and dental insurance coverage expands. Henry Schein's dental technology segment (practice management software, CAD/CAM, digital X-ray) is growing faster than the distribution business and carries higher margins, improving mix over time. After a cybersecurity incident in 2023 temporarily disrupted revenue and created an overhang, recovery has been complete and the stock remains at a material discount to pre-incident multiples. International dental market penetration (Europe, Asia) provides secular growth independent of U.S. cycle dynamics.

HSIC Options Setup — Frequently Asked Questions
Is HSIC a good options trade today?+
Henry Schein Inc. (HSIC) currently has an Amora Edge Score of 67/100, ranking it top 25% of today's scan. This composite score is built from four sub-signals — EMA cross, RSI zone, relative strength vs SPY, and volume surge — each scored 0–25. The current read is a bullish setup, so the algorithm is positioned bullish (calls / call debit spreads). A score above 65 typically warrants a trade card with stop and target; below that, the setup is on the watchlist but not actionable.
What is HSIC's win rate on Stoptions.ai setups?+
HSIC's historical win rate on closed Stoptions setups is 64%. Win rate is calculated as the percentage of past HSIC trade cards that hit their target price before stopping out. Win rate is most meaningful once a ticker has 10+ closed trades — individual ticker rates can be noisy at smaller samples. Our portfolio-wide win rate across all closed trades is the more stable benchmark.
What strike and expiry does Stoptions.ai suggest for HSIC?+
The strike and expiry are shown on the trade card at the top of this page when the setup is active. Stoptions.ai algorithmically selects strikes targeting delta 0.35–0.45 and expirations 30–45 days out, adjusted for current implied volatility rank (IVR). When IVR is high, the system favors call debit spreads to limit vega risk; when IVR is low, single-leg long calls are preferred. The card includes the contract symbol, mid-price entry, stop, and target.
How often is the HSIC setup updated?+
Every 72 hours we refresh HSIC's Amora Edge Score and trade card. The underlying scan runs daily at 9:00 AM ET (pre-market) and 9:30 AM ET (post-open), so any new signal change is reflected within one trading session. If HSIC drops below the entry threshold or the regime shifts (e.g., SPY enters a confirmed bear), the trade card is replaced with a "no setup" notice automatically.
What does the Amora Edge Score measure for HSIC?+
The Amora Edge Score is a 0–100 composite of four technical sub-signals applied to HSIC: (1) EMA cross — is the 20-day above the 50-day with both trending up? (2) RSI zone — is momentum in the 50–70 sweet spot, or extended/weak? (3) Relative strength vs SPY — is HSIC outperforming the market over 20 sessions? (4) Volume surge — is participation above the 20-day average? Each sub-signal contributes 0–25 points. HSIC currently scores 67.
How does HSIC compare to other Healthcare Distribution (Dental & Medical) setups?+
HSIC's sector rank and percentile against other Healthcare Distribution (Dental & Medical) tickers we track is shown on the /tickers index — sortable by Amora Edge Score, win rate, or sector. For direct comparison, see the "Related Healthcare Distribution (Dental & Medical) Options Setups" panel above. When multiple tickers in the same sector are scoring 80+, the algorithm flags the cluster as a sector rotation signal and may upweight position sizing.
