CORE Turnaround Plan Bodes Well
We are upbeat about BioScrip’s progress in the last reported quarter, courtesy of its multi-faceted CORE plan to improve financial position. The company launched the CORE initiative in 2016.
The plan represents focus on identifying and executing strategies to accelerate BioScrip's core revenue growth, mix, drive operational efficiency, improve revenue collections and increase employee effectiveness throughout the organization.
At the end of the first quarter, the company announced that it is on track to achieve its goal of 85% core revenue mix (registering 75.4% core mix in the quarter).
Growing Infusion Services
BioScrip has been recording consistent growth in its core Infusion Services business where it enjoys competitive advantage. The solid growth in this business has been primarily on account of strong organic growth particularly in chronic, nutrition and other therapies.
In order to boost its Infusion services business, BioScrip has taken a number of steps. These includedthe sale of its legacy specialty and mail service pharmacies; the sale of its home health services business and the divestment of the PBM business.
Efforts to Expand Business Look Impressive
With the healthcare landscape changing rapidly, BioScrip has been focused in recent years on growing its core Infusion Services platform through a clinically-focused and customer-orientated model.
While the company’s focus is on driving growth in core Infusion Services, it is also engaged in aggressive reduction of cost. Currently, the company aims at emerging as a smaller and more focused organization with significantly improved profitability and improved operating cash flow.
Other Key Picks
Some other top-ranked stocks in the broader medical space are Genomic Health , Align Technology, Inc. (ALGN - Free Report) and Stryker Corporation (SYK - Free Report) .
Align Technology has a projected long-term earnings growth rate of 28.4% and a Zacks Rank of 2.
Stryker has a projected long-term earnings growth rate of 9.7%. The stock carries a Zacks Rank of 2.
The Hottest Tech Mega-Trend of All
Last year, it generated $8 billion in global revenues. By 2020, it's predicted to blast through the roof to $47 billion. Famed investor Mark Cuban says it will produce "the world's first trillionaires," but that should still leave plenty of money for regular investors who make the right trades early.
