The overall demand for new innovative medical products and services has continued to rise due to an ageing population. This increase in demand for new drugs, therapies, and medical instruments is expected to be a long term growth driver for the Healthcare sector. Innovations by medical devices companies, drug makers, and improvements in new technology have been the driving force behind the Healthcare sector over the past several quarters. The sector’s participants typically have a solid balance sheet, improving revenues, and tend to return cash to shareholders via dividends.
The debate about the future of the Affordable Care Act still exists, and is currently acting as a headwind, but the overall view of the sector is that it is undervalued.
