90% of the things they make are disposables. They make syringes among other things. The products are diversified and one does not dominate their revenues. There are many operations that should have happened but have not due to covid. Earnings will accelerate once covid has subsided and procedures restart.

"Canadian Tire" of healthcare products for clinics and medical offices. Products are one-use only. Elective surgeries have been cancelled, so stock has not done much. Will shine in post-Covid era. Yield is 1.38%. (Analysts’ price target is $272.31)

Healthcare gets knocked down before an election so there is a constant battle at this time of year and then it disappears after the election. This is a great company and continues to do well and you should own it or SYK-N, which he owns.

BDX vs. BSX Owns Boston Scientific instead, with a strong history of execution. One-time events threw off that execution. Hospital procedures are coming back, which will benefit the entire industry. BSX is better known for innovation.

A medical products company. They had a recall of one of their products this year, and they were late on the ball with covid testing. Now that things are open again and people are going to the hospital, they should have a positive outlook.

A good opportunity. Covid has led to deferral of elective surgeries, so revenues are suffering and the market didn't like this. Vaccine testing will help them quite a bit to monetize their testing technology. Reasonable opportunity. Wouldn't be shy to buy at these levels.

Allan Tong’s Discover Picks The pandemic helped BDX, since most of its products are disposable. Then again, during the spring lockdown, surgeries were cancelled across the board, so use of BDX's products nearly halted. Its chart this year has been rocky, though earlier this month, the stock returned to previous highs above $280 while it has met or narrowly beat its EPS in the past four quarters. BDX continues to be profitable at a margin of 7.13% and a 15.41% five-year average revenue growth. Forward PE stands at 20.44x and it pays a dividend of 1.2%.

One of the better US healthcare companies, making needles and test tubes. BDX has done very well in recent years though flat during COVID, so he expects a catch-up. No reason to be afraid of this. It's a solid stock that will grow 3-5% annually.

(A Top Pick Jun 24/19, Down 6%) Hospitals were kind of closed across North America. These guys were a supplier for hospitals. If there are no surgeries then there is less demand for their one time use products. A billion plus doses of a vaccine will require their syringes.

Most of their medical devices are disposable, and now they have a new COVID test. So, 90% of revenues are recurring and will only increase by 14% in the coming 12 months and double-digits in years to follow. They are incredibly well-positioned and enjoy consistent demand. (Analysts’ price target is $268.53)

Investing in healthcare is hard. He holds BDX which he sees it as the shopping mall of healthcare products. He used to own ZBH but they suffered from recalls. He would probably stick to one of the three since he believes they are the best run companies in healthcare.
