Atrion Corp (ATRI-Q) is a company that manufactures medical supplies, particularly lens cases for contact lenses. The stock has experienced a recent buyout offer at $460, much lower than the estimated value of $600-800 according to one expert. The share price plunged due to high interest rates, impacting customer inventory levels, but the expectation is that orders will resume once existing inventory is depleted. With a low PE ratio of 20x and a 2.5% dividend that has historically been rising, ATRI is seen as a potential value play in the long term, despite the recent challenges. Overall, the company appears to have strong fundamentals and potential for growth.

But when those customers finish working through their existing inventory, they will order from ATRI again.

COMMENT
Atrion Corp
There are 7,000 publicly traded companies in the world, and their firm runs 20 different screens. The most important is free cash flow growth. With that, you can invest in R&D, do acquisitions, pay down debt, buy back shares, or pay a dividend. Atrion has very strong dividend increases. Small company, but really strong free cash flow characteristics.

TOP PICK
Atrion Corp
A leading supplier of medical devices to niche markets, like opthamology (i.e. IV tubes with clips). The share price has returned to 2017 levels, but they have new products coming out and elective surgery is coming back so demand will rise. Last week, they announced a 13% dividend increase. Strong free cash flow.

(A Top Pick Jul 29/19, Down 17%) They are in medical devices -- cardiac, eyes and fluid delivery devices. Elective surgeries have declined, but fluid delivery has continued to do well. They have been buying back shares around $630 per share, so there is good support here.

BUY ON WEAKNESS
Atrion Corp
It is a medical device company. It is potentially an acquisition target. It has had a decent run. It is an interesting company. It is not a buy but could be in a bit more of a sell off.
Healthcare
PARTIAL BUY
Atrion Corp
A small cap medical device company, only US$400 million. They're good at what they do, but it's volatile. Use limit orders. He's owned this since $100/share, and has bought on pullbacks. They have new products in the pipe, but there was a slowdown in the supply chain recently. Dividend is growing by 10-15%. Organic revenue growth around 5%. Start with a half-position with the current toppy market.

(A Top Pick Jul 29/19, Up 10%) A small Texas company. Not in any ETFs, so this will avoid an ETF sell-off when markets panic. They are in health care. They've been very acquisitive.

Great cash flow with little debt. Cash is his key metric. When the Russell was down 12% in 2018, ATRI was up 18%. Great long-term hold. (no price target)

COMMENT
Atrion Corp

Small caps tend to be less liquid and therefore may have higher betas, although this one is low at 6.1, because it doesn't trade a lot. It makes all kinds of medical devices that none of the big guys want to manufacture. A good entry point would be around $50. This is one you want to hold for the long run.

PAST TOP PICK
Atrion Corp

(A Top Pick Jan 15/16. Up 44.32%.) A tiny little company out of Texas that makes things in the healthcare sector that nobody else wants to create, such as little catheters, IV tubes, cases for contact lenses, etc. His fear is that this company could get bought out because the CEO is getting into his 60s, and succession would be a risk. He wouldn’t buy at this price as it is a little overpriced. Buy on weakness.
