Oscar Health Inc. (OSCR) has demonstrated significant volatility in today’s trading. The decline from a high of $17.38 to a close of $16.47 points to strong selling pressure. The stock’s P/E ratio of 68.17 is relatively high, suggesting that investors have high expectations for future earnings growth, which can also lead to sharp price swings if those expectations are not met.
