This stock is slipping and it doesn't have the resources to meet the bottom line. It seems there has been some cutting back to insure progress. But unsatified customer complaints are filling the screens. Beware, for there are many other healthcare industries creeping up and will surpass.

Unless medicine gets nationalized, this business model should be good enough for the long run.

There is a 15% chance this company won't outperform in the next five years or so. I'm taking it. The companies' tickers that fit the Conan-Holder model criterion of a Z value between 12 and 14 and are as much a safe bet as this company (meaning if your bullish on this one why not on the others) are: GSK,SHLD,LLY,LOW,MAT,WMT,LUX,HSIC,PCU,SKM,SU.RL,CHL,BSY,LOGI,NVDA,TLK,DNA,KTC,ACN,STO,JNJ,FDG,TKG,CRM.

Recent report was weak and as much as I want back into HSIC (sold off in the mid to high $40s) I think it is time to take the gains there and wait on the sidelines for a while.

A solid company with good numbers. I've been bullish on this company since I bought into it back in 2002

HSIC is the largest distributor of medical/ veterinary/ dental supplies in the US. It is a primary deliverer of influenza and other vaccines, and is now beginning to fill demand for this year's seasonal flu vaccine supply.It has a large number of European customers as well as those in the US, and has recently made several more foreign and local acquisitions.
N.B. Your "technology " listing is surprising --HSIC was distributing medical supplies before computers were in general use! It is commonly listed under"Medical Services/Medical Suppliers.
