Zillow remains one of our high-conviction positions in the International Equities Portfolio, even as the share price has corrected in recent months.

HCA Healthcare Inc (HCA US) $US401.96

We covered the private hospital operator a few months ago here, flagging the expansion in its earnings multiple as the primary driver of the share price, prompting us to turn more neutral.
