Hospira, Inc. (HSP)

CAPS Rating:
***

A specialty pharmaceutical and medication delivery company that is focused on products that improve the productivity, safety and efficacy of patient care.

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.

I love finding these discarded healthcare stocks over this weekend.

Give me the no sales growth. It's coming. Its called the biggest wave of retirees in the history of the USA. It's called obesity. It's called, "Take a pill to cure your ills." It's called blame others for your bad health.

I owned this stock when it split from Abbott and sold it at a profit. There are too many good competitors lined up against it.

With the recall of Baxter's Heprin and a scramble for hospitals to find a replacement HSP has the oportunity to fill the void and grab a big chunk of the market.

Sales should increase with this new demand.

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