Though change is coming in health care I don't see a decrease in demand for the kind of information inVentiv provides any time soon.

It is all in the Health Care Reform phorum. This stock along with other stock in Health Care will outperform, as new rules and procedures will be implemented in this sector.

These were recent additions of the Hidden Gems service. I'm adding these to track their performance, and evaluate the service.

I'm adding InVentiv Health (VTIV) to CAPS today.
They serve the pharmaceuttical industry. Through acquisition they have added more and more services, and through cross-selling are hoping to be a one-stop shop for many companies looking to outsource some of their business functions.
InVentiv has stopped there flurry of acquisitions for now, and they are focusing on integrating the companies they hold and paying down debt. Total long-term debt was $320MM at the end of the last quarter. Large write-downs at year-end 2008 have obscured InVentiv's earnings, but the company produced $87MM in operating cash flow in 2008, and has produced $57MM in operating cash flow through the first six months of 2009. Yet today they have a market cap of $556MM. Yes, this company is priced at 6.4x 2008 cash flow and 4.9x 2009 annualized cash flow. Debt service should not be an issue.
Even if the company produces no organic growth over the next year, with their level of cash flow (which will show up on the earnings statements soon), bolt on acquisitions should commence soon, leading to higher earnings and greater value for shareholders. I look for Inventiv to trade around 12-15x operating cash flow in 2010, resulting in a share price of $40. Easily a double from here.

Not as comfortable on this short term as I'd like to be, with health care town-hall takedowns going on, but it's a good entry price. Once the direction of health care is figured out, one way or the other, this is a solid company that stands to do very well, and is on solid financial footing to weather the storm.

Cost cutting and diversification from acquisitions providing improved efficiency and streamlining...I like it to rebound when the health reform dust settles...

Down 9% today on earnings disappointment, but not a trend, rather a natural result of worldwide 2009 belt tightening. After Obamacare meets Harry and Louise and the 75% of Americans scared of socialized medicine, it will be back in business with a bullet. Hoping for a two-bagger in six months.

Good balance sheet... the company is generating cash and at ~$14.5 we are buying close to book value. Should see some growth on this one.

VTIV is in a great position to benefit from current political trends, as well as long-term demographic trends. I am buying shares now (Jul 09).
