Morgan Stanley (MS) Goldman Sachs (GS), Bank of America (BAC) Get 30 Percent of IPO Fees in 2011

So far in 2011, IPO fees generated by banks have come to $533 million, more than the banks have made in 6 years.

Leading the sector in garnering the fees are Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) and Bank of America (NYSE:BAC), which have accounted for 30 percent of the revenue generated so far this year.

So far this year the total is over four times what it was at the same time in 2010, much of that coming from the recent IPO of HCA Holdings Inc's (NYSE:HCA) of $3.8 billion.

Morgan Stanley was trading at $28.27, up $0.20, or 0.71 percent, as of 1:08 PM EST. Goldman Sachs was at $160.71, up $0.44, or 0.27 percent. Bank of America was trading at $14.31, up $0.05, or 0.32 percent.

HCA (HCA) Closes at $31.02 on First Trading Day

HCA Holdings Inc. (NYSE:HCA) jumped 4 percent early in its first day of trading, closing the day at $31.02 in the largest private-equity backed IPO in U.S. history.

Shares of the hospital operator rose quickly to $31.20 as the stock market opened, driving it to the 4 percent mark mentioned; starting the day at $30.00.

Revenue at the largest private-sector hospital in the U.S. in 2010 was $30.7 billion, with earnings reaching $1.2 billion.

Long term there is uncertainty in the health sector, as it's unclear the fate of Obamacare, and if it remains as it is, even there it is uncertain as to how that will impact Medicare and Medicaid, which accounted for close to 41 percent of HCA's revenue in 2010.

Spending cutbacks could negate the expected rise in customers from Obamacare if it is allowed to remain as the law of the land.

Managing the IPO were Bank of America (NYSE:BAC), Citigroup (NYSE:C) and JPMorgan (JPM).
