Latest Advanced Medical Equipment & Technology Stock News

Before choosing which top Advanced Medical Equipment & Technology stock to buy, be sure to conduct proper due diligence: analyze various financial metrics and look at historical data, public statements and news coverage.

There is a positive fundamental outlook for the life sciences tools & services (LSTS) sub-industry for the next year. In 2021, adjusted EPS are expected to grow, reversing the subpar growth seen in 2020, assuming a healthier economic environment globally. Expected R&D spending to continue to improve during 2021 as most of the clinical research that was put on hold resuming. Increase in demand for Covid-19 testing and related products and services are expected to remain until the pandemic is fully under control globally and continue to be a considerable tailwind for a number of LSTS companies. Risk factors are slower biopharma R&D spending growth and prolonged uncertainty in certain parts of the world due to Covid-19 as new variants of the virus emerged. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) budget has been growing over the last three years, increasing funding for academic and government labs. This in turn helps drive sales growth for many LSTS companies that supply these labs. The NIH budget for fiscal 2021 (Sep.) rose 3.0%, which is lower than 5.9% for fiscal 2020 and 5.4% growth for fiscal 2019. Yet, the NIH budget grew at a CAGR of 5.8% from 2016 through 2021, a sharp increase from the flat budget growth from 2012 through 2015. The Covid-19 pandemic had a considerable impact on the sub-industry in 2020 due to the moderation in biopharma R&D spending, disruptions in clinical sites accessibility, slowdown in patient enrollments for clinical studies, and a decline in the demand for large-scale life sciences equipment with investments delayed. Yet, gradual improvement throughout 2020 were seen and a solid recovery in Q1, as countries re-opened and operations resumed with a faster-thananticipated recovery in Asia (especially China) as a result of pent-up demand, in our view. Yet, despite the increased pace of Covid-19 vaccinations in the U.S., with the emergence of new more dangerous variants and the slower pace of vaccinations in the rest of the world, the speed and sustainability of the recovery remain unclear, in our view.

Why Focus on Undervalued Advanced Medical Equipment & Technology Stocks?

Value investors seek to buy stocks at a discount to their intrinsic value. Long-term returns show that such strategies are advantageous. Value stocks, as a group, tend to outperform growth stocks over extended periods of time. Typically, value investors perform financial analysis of numerous metrics, don’t follow the herd and are long-term investors.

AAII’s A+ Investor Value Grade is derived from a stock’s Value Score. The Value Score is the percentile rank of the average of the percentile ranks of the price-to-sales ratio, price-earnings ratio, enterprise-value-to-EBITDA (EV/EBITDA) ratio, shareholder yield, price-to-book-value ratio and price-to-free-cash-flow ratio. The score is variable, meaning it can consider all six ratios or, should any of the six ratios not be valid, the remaining ratios that are valid. To be assigned a Value Score, stocks must have a valid (non-null) ratio and corresponding ranking for at least two of the six valuation ratios.

What Goes Into AAII’s Value Grade?

Stock evaluation requires access to huge amounts of data as well as the knowledge and time to sift through it all, make sense of financial ratios, read income statements and analyze recent stock movement. AAII created A+ Investor, a robust data suite that condenses data research in an actionable and customizable way suitable for investors of all knowledge levels, to help investors with that task.

AAII’s proprietary stock grades come with A+ Investor. These offer intuitive A–F grades for more than just value. It is possible for a stock to appear cheap based on one valuation metric but appear expensive on another. It is also possible for one valuation ratio to be associated with outperforming stocks during certain periods of time but not others. Some stocks may even have null values for certain metrics like the price-earnings ratio or the price-to-book ratio but not others. An example of this would be a company with losses instead of profits or a negative book value because of heavy borrowing. Negative earnings or book value result in non-meaningful ratios that are left blank or null.

3 Undervalued Advanced Medical Equipment & Technology Stocks

Of course, there are countless value stocks that are worth mentioning, but this is a concise list of the top 3 undervalued stocks in the Advanced Medical Equipment & Technology industry for Wednesday, November 08, 2023. Let’s take a closer look at their individual scores to see how they measure up against each other and the Advanced Medical Equipment & Technology industry median.

The Value Grade is assigned based on how each stock’s composite valuation compares to all other stocks.

The process for assigning grades starts with each variable for a given stock. The percentile rankings for all valid ratios that a stock has are calculated. So, for instance, a stock could have a price-to-book ranking in the 43rd percentile, a price-earnings ranking in the 67th percentile, a price-to-sales ranking in the 23rd percentile, etc. Then, those rankings are averaged for each stock. (A minimum of two valid variables are required, though all six will be used if available.)

Once the average of the individual variables is calculated, that average is ranked against all stocks. Put another way, each stock’s composite valuation is compared to all other stocks. These ranks are then sorted into quintiles from the cheapest 20% (a grade of A) to the most expensive 20% (a grade of F).

As always, we recommend that you conduct proper due diligence and research before investing in any security. We also suggest that investors utilize numerous grades, not just value, when it comes to deciding whether a company is a good fit for their allocation needs.
