Q: I'm looking to add a new holding in the healthcare sector, and am currently looking at either WELL or PTQ, for a smaller cap stock. Currently, I only have Stryker (SYK) and Amgen (AMGN) in the healthcare sector. Which of either WELL or PTQ would you prefer for more significant growth potential over 3-5 years, with moderate risk. Please provide a rationale for your preference. Thanks!

Q: I have MDT whose shares have been in a muted trading range for more than a year. Understandable reasons— e.g. postponement of elective surgeries &c.). However I then checked the 10-year performance of the medical equipment ETF , IHI.us, with that of MDT. To my surprise, MDT has not outperformed IHI in ANY part of an entire decade (I used charts at Scotia’s FlightDesk for this).

Several analyst shops seems to favor MDT, as do you. Has something changed in recent months to boost the prospects of MDT?

If this is a good time to add to one’s holding in MDT, please comment on whether the following metrics from GuruFocus are correct:
TTM P/E : 42.98 and ROE less than 7%. Further, I see y-y EBITDA Growth Rate % of [gasp] minus -30.10 and PEG of 11.45.
Can this be correct for a well-regarded company ? Kindly give your data for forward P/E , PEG , and please confirm whether cash flow from operations is adequate for operations and to meet debt obligations.

Thank you
