Tenet Healthcare Corp. is exploring strategic options including a possible sale of the big hospital company, according to a report Wednesday by The Wall Street Journal, citing people familiar with the matter. The company has hired bankers to look at its options, and the process is in the early stages, the report said. The hospital chain’s shares rose more than 14% in late trading, after ending the regular session down 5.3%. Tenet has battled pressure from activist shareholders, and last month CEO Trevor Fetter announced he’ll step down in March.
