Equities.com’s Health Care Small-Cap Stars – Helping You Build a Healthier Portfolio
No one can predict precisely which potential treatments will fly through their clinical trials and which will stumble along the way. At least, if someone can, they’re undoubtedly spectacularly wealthy right now. But, while the science is clearly the most important factor for the success of a small-cap biotech company, it’s not the only one.
Equities.com’s Small-Cap Stars system uses a complicated statistical regression to determine which fundamental factors previous success stories had in common and then identifies those present health care small caps that share those traits. For health care companies, we found that a high enterprise value, a strong value line beta, and a high rate of reinvestment were among the most important qualities in predicting the potential success of a company.
