Quest Diagnostics has strength and weakness but it will be interesting to follow through on this time chain.

Performed relatively well during this bear market. As the market rebounds a bit, DGX won't rebound as fast as it has less "room to run" than many others in the SP500.

One of the major reference labs (LabCorp being the other) that nearly every physician office sends specimens to. Also processes lab tests that Hospitals cannot or will not do in-house (AKA the "Sendout"). I don't see their sales going anywhere anytime soon.

A sure thing coming up right behind death and taxes: illness. As one of the biggest lab/diagnositic services in the country, Quest has solid earnings and ddividends and an 8% NET profit margin. Not too shabby. Having said all this, I'd also have to recommend their biggest competitor, labcorp, whose financials look even stronger.

Growth is slow but steady. I use this service as a patient. Neither too pricy or cheap on service. Product is stable with elderly population growing, services a plus for medical community. Little concerned over P/E ratio but not too concerned

Any easy winner over the years... Maybe it will go down further but no point in trying to time the bottom as people head out for more and more medical tests everyday...
