Healthways, Inc. (HWAY)

CAPS Rating:
*****

The Company provides specialized, comprehensive Health and Care Support programs and services, including disease management, high-risk care management, and Outcomes Driven Wellness programs to health plans, governments, employers, and hospitals.

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.

This company will rebound strongly due to the payments it has made this past year. Although they have lost some contracts this year, demographics and the need for health coverage will help this company in the long term.

Five stars today, that's funny. Doubling its debt in 2007 and expanding into an economic downturn has this one headed way down. Cash flow ratios will plumet right along with the stock price.

The company should be worth the value of its call centers. That's it. Health Prevention services, like those offered at HWAYs, are have a bleak future. Why? Margins are smaller trying to make sick people healthy (i.e. u need doctors and medicine not surveys and websites). Until someone can put a dollar value (revenue/cost potential) on the "holistic" market, HWAYs other target mkt... I'll stand on the sidelines. Longs, stay away from this one.

Sell.

Why is HWAY struggling? Their financial fundamentals look good indicating they are a good buy right now. I must be missing something, because I just don't see what has kept them down. Their income seems to keep growing and there is no reason to think that won't continue. I don't know if it will ever get back to its highs around $70, but it will climb out of the valley it is in now. It just may take some time for it to be noticed.

The rebound is inevitable. Let the shorties have their fun in the volitile times. If you can afford it, stay long.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
