CAPS Rating:
*****

The Company provides neonatal, maternal fetal and other pediatric subspecialty physician services in 32 states and Puerto Rico.

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 players 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.

It's not so much about amount of births, but how many births need emergency pre natal care. That's at 12% and growing. That is what makes these guys their money. More babies are being born premature, underweight, or with some complication. That sucks, but these guys make money of that growing trend.

Good management, good business model, good competitive positioning, good balance sheet, good cash flows. Temporary decline in birth rates. No reason to believe it will persist over multiple years. Stock well off highs, expectations lowered. Company buying stock in mid-$60's. Could go lower over next 1-2 quarters, but over 2-3 years strength of business should shine.
