Quality Systems, Inc. (QSII)

CAPS Rating:
*****

The Company develops and markets healthcare information systems that automate aspects of medical and dental practices, networks of practices and management service organizations, ambulatory care centers, medical and dental schools.

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.

Our clinic had almost decided to go with Nextgen until they gave us a demo that was so bad that we stopped right there and are reevaluating the whole process. EMRs can be both boon and boondoggle. I know of some medical practices that have taken a 30% or more loss to their bottom line with EMR. Beca...More

Short interest is much too high currently which provides a nice floor to this price.

I think Quality Systems might be coming out of its 2 1/2-year funk. You'll notice the share price was stagnant over that period. That's because growth slowed from the torrid pace of 2003-2005. But QSII's biggest division, NextGen, grew 29% in the last quarter. Earnings growth has been 15% this year. The stock trades below mid-25x this year's earnings. If 20+% revenue growth is sustainable, the stock is a bargain.

Compare QSII to other players in this space like athenahealth (ATHN) - same market cap but ATHN barely generates earnings. Plus QSII pays a generous 3% dividend.

This company is worth $45-50 per share if it gets sold (which it might not). But the business might be picking up and in that case, we could see $40 without a sale. Also, reading between the lines, there could be an acquisition coming.
