Will MedTech Ease Investors' Concern & Outperform? 4 Picks
Zacks Investment Research | Jul 04, 2019 09:25PM ET
Investors putting money into the medical device space are concerned about complex regulatory procedures coming into the way of infrastructural or technology growth. The FDA’s significantly long-drawn process to review and grant approval to any device is impeding the movement of MedTech stocks on the bourses.
Despite the industry’s ‘non-discretionary’ spending nature, solid long-term potential and favorable demographic trend, investors’ fear of such hindrances has created a gap between the growth potential of this industry and the pace of investment.
Lower investment in MedTech might prove to be a concern, more so as gains within this space are staggering.
