Best healthcare stocks

Healthcare brings together pharma, biotech and medical devices: defensive businesses with steady demand and often high margins. The keys are the product pipeline, patents and the ability to innovate to replace drugs that lose them.

This ranking sorts by fundamental quality, not by whether a stock is cheap or expensive: an excellent company can be expensive. To find the fair price, enter its quote in the analyzer. The scores recompute on their own with each new SEC filing.
