On CAPS, 99% of the 407 members who have rated Continucare believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include rodman1112 and HollowMountain.
Less than two months ago, rodman1112 noted that Continucare "looks pretty good on paper, acquires companies [without] any debt and maintains good cash."
Continucare's rock-solid balance sheet and exposure to the growing outpatient services space continue to support its five-star status. Deriving most of its revenues under managed care agreements with Humana (NYSE: HUM ) , Vista, and WellCare (NYSE: WCG ) , Continucare is another baby-boomer bet that is certainly worth looking into.
CAPS member HollowMountain elaborates on the bull case:
This company is financially stable, provides a service that is a necessity to a growing number of Americans, has low overhead, and does not over extend itself with debt. Plus, this company has few direct competitors, and situates itself to provide a service that is mundane but profitable.
