AmerisourceBergen Corp. (ABC)

CAPS Rating:
***

A pharmaceutical services company providing drug distribution and related healthcare services and solutions to its pharmacy, physician and manufacturer customers, which currently are based primarily in the United States and Canada.

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.

If I were head of a hospital looking to outsource the ordering, warehousing, and dealing with deliveries of medicines, I would take a long hard look at the Gross Operating Profit of the candidate companies. AmerisourceBergen Corporation has a very stable Gross Operating Profit.

No matter how I slice it, this one seems to be a value.
