BUY
Not overly bullish on healthcare as a whole, as its growth may be less attractive. Likes medical devices, with a built-in backlog due to Covid. He owns SYK. There should be a significant pickup in procedures over the next 2 years. SYK has strong earnings growth, near a 1-year high. Also look at IHI, the medical devices ETF, packed with companies leading the healthcare sector.

Allan Tong’s Discover Picks IHI's MER is actually higher (at 0.39%) than the yield it pays (0.3%). Like the other names here, IHI trades at a low beta, 0.86 to be precise. So, if you're not buying this for income, what's the growth? Let's look at IHI's largest holdings. TMO offers diversity among lab testing, lab equipment and diagnostics and typically trades at a premium multiple. TMO was a hit in the Covid-testing days, but that stereotype has stuck with them. The company reported a strong quarter a month ago, but that didn't move the needle. TMO shares have been choppy but rangebound all year, but if Wall Street gets gospel on TMO, share should pop. The price target is 20% higher at $674. Read 3 Best U.S. Healthcare ETFs for our full analysis.

(A Top Pick Aug 15/18, Up 20%) A good way to play pharma without the litigation problems. For a Canadian one, it would be ZUH. Medical devices have done very well, and wish he had more.
