CAPS Rating:
***

The Company provides post acute healthcare services primarily to Medicare beneficiaries in rural markets in the southern 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.

Rapidly growing need for in-home health care services provided by companies like LHCG. To date most services have been provided by regional, privately owned firms. LHCG is consolidating the industry in the Southeastern states. Economies of scale arise from consolidated management, marketing, billing and insurance coverage. Expect LHCG to continue to grow in the next 5 years as it expands through acquisition.
