Healthcare space provides nice combination of growth with stability, in case we get into latter stage of economic cycle.

Cardinal Health Inc

Likes, and owns. As people age, volume of drugs required can only increase, benefiting a name like this.

SELL
Cardinal Health Inc

Scores 4/10 on value, 3/10 on fundamentals. Try to avoid. If you're in it and looking for an exit, now's not a bad time because it's had a pop YTD. Only about 4% more upside to analysts' price targets.

She prefers larger, less volatile companies that are a bit more secure. Try UNH or big US pharmaceuticals.

Sell before the take-over by Mars?

XLV vs. individual names.

XLV gives you a basket of names, with some winners and some losers. LLY is the top holding, that's a winner. Also holds JNJ and PFE, which haven't done particularly well. 

He owns NVO, MCK and CAH. He likes those companies where the only serious competition comes from 1 or 2 others, as they can control pricing power. Diabetes and weight loss are definite growth areas. See his Top Picks.

Healthcare strong, but stock performance mediocre. Will host CEO to get more answers.

SELL
Cardinal Health Inc

Recently sold at slight loss, EPS won't have the growth trajectory he thought. Announcement out of left field that they lost a contract and revenue would decline substantially. Reasonably stable business. Over time, will probably be an OK holding. But now market won't have the same confidence in management to execute, stock will be hobbled. He'd look again on further decline.

TOP PICK
Cardinal Health Inc

Distributes pharma and medical products. Largest customer is CVS. Operates in a triopoly, controlling 90% of the US wholesale industry. Pricing power leads to predictable cashflow. Aging population, weight-loss drugs, diabetes treatments will result in higher spending and volume. Shares trending steadily higher, good technical strength. 15% earnings growth going forward. Yield is 1.9%.

(Analysts’ price target is $113.49)

BUY
Cardinal Health Inc

They just reported a revenue and earnings beat, and raised their full-year forecast, but missed operating profit and lowered their full-year forecast for the smaller medical segment. Shares tumbled yesterday and today but is still close to its all-time high. Doesn't understand the sell-off.

BUY
Cardinal Health Inc

Though drug companies are a target of politicians citing high drug prices, it keeps printing cash. For now, it's a cheap stock that won't be hurt by higher interest rates.
