Over on CAPS, 714 of the 733 members who have rated Hologic -- or 97% -- believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include Bamafan68 and TSIF.

Two weeks ago, Bamafan68 wrote that Hologic "has a very healthy market share for women's care products, including ThinPrep pap smears and Novasure endometrial ablation devices which treats abnormal bleeding on an outpatient basis." Our CAPS member continues: "With a HPV diagnostic test awaiting FDA approval and new HPV testing recommendations, I expect this company to grow."

In a pitch from last week, TSIF gladly updates our community on those developments:

Good pop from FDA approval of Cervista and the DNA test that have a good comprehensive outlook. Normally I stay way away from pharma/drug type companies, but Hologic already has a decent pipeline of products, good cash flow, good forward P/E, and good cash on hand. Looks like a good place to diversify.
