Discounted earnings valuation assuming 25% earnings growth over 10 years indicates this stock is selling at a substantial discount. Even assuming 20%, it's fairly priced. Just backed off a new high, buying on the dip. Healthcare sector will… More

True to my style, this stock has all the makings of a security whose price understates the value of the underlying business. This company produces some pretty impressive margins, while still maintaining a very healthy balance sheet. The firm also sticks to its core competencies beautifully, indicating a disciplined, intelligent management.
I also like this stock because, in addition to currently looking attractive, it incorporates a larger, macro play. It stands to grow revenue as pharmaceutical companies increasingly outsource their testing operations in an effort to cut costs. I think this stock appears poised to outperform the broad market index.
