The physician group at my hospital loves the service they receive from NHWK. In a growing trend of budget crunches, look for more rural hospitals to outsource radiology for cost savings and even larger facilities with established radiology departments to employ them at night because quite frankly the radiologists dont want to work the night shifts. I'm looking closely at the numbers and considering putting real skin in the game at current levels.

New management will eventually turn things around, price will get to 10-15/share. Could benefit from healthcare reform.

This company has good reviews but poor performance. While the price of the stock may go up or down, fundamentally this company seems to be doomed.

Our local county hospital was recently purchased by a for-profit hospital management group (CYH). As part of the resulting cost-cutting, the long tenured radiology group was dismissed, and NightHawk was engaged to provide after hours services.
The medical staff was underwhelmed with the quality and utility (a lot of 'hedging') of the interpretations and counted down the days until another local radiology group could be contracted for the provision of those same services.
The importance of an established, personal relationship between the requesting physician and the radiologist must not be forgotten. If an analogy were to be drawn, NightHawk radiologists were similar to agency nurses in the eyes of the medical staff. They had no skin in the game, no hospital/patient loyalty... and they were glad to see 'em go.

Love the earnings report and this management team seems like they finally have their heads in the right place. Positive signs all over and looking for them to carve their niche in the health care industry.

I am giving this stock a weak 'outperform' under the assumption that they can get their SGA expenses under control.

Hopefully the new management will pay close attention to these numbers.

I like their business model, PE a bit too high (aound 20), but potential for growth is high as medical services keep growing and being outsourced to specialists.

Like others have explained NHWK offers radiological services 24/7. Not many medical practitioners do that.
NHWK is poised to break out of the slump that has benn holding them back. They have repurchased stock in anticipation of new venues opening up to them.
They have grown their P/E by 20% over the last 3 months and although slow it is climbing appreciably.
And. . . It's healthcare.
When was the last time YOUR health insurance costs went down ??

Tons of top Fools are sucking wind with this stock - I'll hop in with them at this price! A potential multi-bagger at best, and a slight long-term laggard at worst..?
S&P is bearish over the next year, and thinks it's worth around $6.
Revenue and profit are increasing YOY, but so is debt and shares outstanding.

i work rural ed's, and everyplace i have been in the last three years has switched to this service. i am considering buying this stock, but have trouble understanding why everyone does not love it. they have a unique and great product and their name sells. other people might come up with copycat companies, that is the only downside i can think of.

Biggest mover in a market segment of inevitability (24-hour outsourced radiology). Next largest competitor VRAD has only U.S. operations, and isn't profitable.
Growth is still on pace -- from Q1 press release: "
-- First quarter 2008 revenue grew 61% to $41.7 million from $25.9 million in the first quarter 2007. First quarter 2008 scan volume grew 54% to 745 thousand scans compared with 484 thousand scans in the first quarter 2007.
-- New service offerings, including daytime final reads and business services, represented 21%, or $8.7 million, of total revenue for the quarter. Final reads revenue represented 11% of total revenue, or $4.6M, up from 8% in the fourth quarter 2007.
-- Organic revenue and organic scan volume grew 15% and 21%, respectively, year-over-year.
May hit short term bumps with fallen dollar, competitors trying to undercut them, but in the long run they are the biggest, most profitable, and best positioned for expansion.
