Could Faster Growth Return?

Facebook’s (FB) could have 30% profit growth returning in 2016, which could push the stock well past $100.

On Another Level

Cognizant Technology Solutions (CTSH) might be the most consistent tech stock of our generation, and is deserving of a higher multiple.

A Little Banged Up

Stericycle (SRCL) delivers double-digit profit growth year-after-year. But SRCL’s price is high.

We Missed Our Chance

Buffalo Wild Wings (BWLD) gapped up after ok earnings, and now we missed out chance to get in lower.

A Transformation

Ambulance operator AmSurg (AMSG) is a faster grower now that it provides physician services. I’ll buy AMSG for the Growth Portfolio and Aggressive Growth Portfolio today.

Acadia Healthcare (ACHC) is growing by leaps and bounds by expanding internally and externally using cash.

Stryker (SYK) isn’t the 20% grower like it used to be — not even close. So why is the stock up around 25% in the last year and sporting a 20 P/E ratio? It’s overdelivering.

Chinese stocks continue to get bashed, but Chinese tutoring company TAL Education (XRS) might be one to get if it takes a tumble.

C.R. Bard Breaks Out

Medical device maker C.R. Bard (BCR) broke out to new highs after it beat the street, amazing that it could do so with the strong dollar. But at 22x earnings this 11% grower is fairly valued right now.

The Heavy Hitters

GIlead Sciences’ (GILD) HIV and hepatitis C drugs continue to power the company. Now, what does GILD do for its next act?
