U.S. stocks closed out their ugly April with even more losses, cementing the market’s worst month since September. The same could be said for our Birmingham and Alabama Stock Report, where all but six stocks experienced a drop.

Southern States Bancshares, Medical Properties Trust and Nucor led the decliners at -4.3%, -3.8% and -3.8%, respectively.

Pacing the short stack of gainers was Tenet Healthcare at an impressive +13.3%. The Dallas-based company owns five hospitals across central Alabama: Brookwood Baptist and Princeton Baptist in Birmingham, Shelby Baptist in Alabaster, Walker Baptist in Jasper and Citizens Baptist in Talladega.
