Kinetic Concepts, Inc. (KCI)

Here is another company that is a "picks and shovels" type company to the health care industry.





"Kinetic Concepts, Inc., a medical technology company, engages in the design, manufacture, marketing, and service of wound care and therapeutic products in the United States and internationally."





Low p/e, beaten down recently, re-affirmed guidance, growing earnings, international presence is always a great thing in this falling dollar environment. Again fits my criteria of nearer the 52 week low with my value bias to stocks, but make no mistake, this is a growth company that should continue to grow.





Cons to this stock are that their recent acquisition is dilutive and hedge funds are likely to short it hard, so we might find a better buy-in point. The core of the business is very solid however. You might think about making this stock a long trade because it is likely there will be very high volatility.
