IBD's Top 10 Ranked Medical Stocks...
Hot, cutting-edge biotech companies usually make the headlines and attract investors en masse. Yet, forgotten are the medical stocks, especially those companies providing the necessary tools and services that feed the biotech research firms.
Biotech stocks will always remain risky as long as the drug research and development process continues to be a rather long and expensive one. So it would seem wise to invest in the companies that profit off of the R&D process; companies that provide the necessary raw materials to surgeons and scientists (LIFC), or those that aid in the networking and electronic data management (SXCL or QSII).
The following list represents the top ten medical stocks ranked according to Earnings Per Share and Relative Strength by Investor's Business Daily (09/11/06):
(score out of 100)
1. Abaxis [ABAX] EPS=98 RS=95
2. Lifecell [LIFC] EPS=99 RS=92
3. Icon [ICLR] EPS=93 RS=97
4. Parexel [PRXL] EPS=92 RS=95
5. Wellcare [WCG] EPS=94 RS=93
6. Systems Xcellence [SXCL] EPS=90 RS=95
7. West Pharmaceutical [WST] EPS=91 RS=94
8. Bio Reference Labs [BRLI] EPS=94 RS=91
9. Immucor [BLUD] EPS=95 RS=88
10. Quality Systems [QSII] EPS=98 RS=84
