HealthSouth Corp. (HLS)

CAPS Rating:
*

The Company is a provider of rehabilitative health care and ambulatory surgery services in the United States.

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.

Recently hit a low, however this healtcare is recovering from the terrible management and under new leadership will continue its up turn in recent weeks. Will continue to be a leader, considering what the former CEO and Governor did to steal millions.

This stock has been on a complete roller coaster ride over the past 5 years. It was trading at 3, then had a raid by the SEC and dipped as low as .07 per share. It's rebounded somewhat, had a reverse split and is now in a good position to sell off some of their units to get cash if they need it. They are also in the healthcare sector and should thrive in the upcoming years.

In other words, there is a No. 1 stock in CAPS and a worst-ranked stock in CAPS. When you arrive at the top-ranked stock, clicking "Beat this Stock!" will cause the page to refresh.

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