Jefferies more cautious on Healthcare Services group for 2019

Jefferies more cautious on Healthcare Services group for 2019. After strong performance in 2018, analyst Brian Tanquilut is more cautious on the Healthcare Services group for 2019 given his belief that sales growth will be “tepid” for most providers as overall utilization flattens out and increased market volatility drives greater scrutiny of debt levels. Given this backdrop, companies that can deliver positive organic or acquisition-driven growth with solid balance sheets should outperform, Tanquilut tells investors in a research note. His top picks in the space are Addus HomeCare (ADUS), Amedisys (AMED), AMN Healthcare (AMN), Encompass Health (EHC), HCA Healthcare (HCA), LHC Group (LHCG) and RadNet (RDNT).
