DaVita, Inc. (DVA)

CAPS Rating:
***

The Company is a provider of dialysis services in the United States for patients suffering from chronic kidney failure, also known as end stage renal disease.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Follow the population demographics. Older, Fatter, high blood pressure. The population DVA serves will keep growing.

In America obesity and diabetes are growing which leads to kisney failure. More and more Americans are ending up on dialysis machines and Davita is the leading company in America. It is the Mcdonalds of dialysis. There is one on every corner, you just don't see them.

Lotta baby boomers with poor health getting older every day. I'd be more bearish if people in the USA started eating right and getting more exercise. Good thing for Davita that's not going to happen any time soon.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
