Hot Medical Stocks To Watch For 2019


What happened

Shares of Dexcom(NASDAQ:DXCM), a medical device maker focused on diabetes, surged 23% as of 11 a.m. EDT on Thursday. The huge jump is attributable to the release of second-quarter results that smashed expectations and featured a huge boost to guidance.

So what

Here’s a review of the key figures from Dexcom’ssecond quarter:

Revenue jumped 42% to $242.5 million. For perspective, Wall Street was only expecting revenue of $204.9 million, so the company handily beat estimates. Non-GAAP net loss was $9.2 million, or $0.10 per share. That was also much better than the $0.18 loss that market watchers were expecting.

The better-than-expected results also allowed management to significantly boost its guidance for the year. The company now expects full-year revenue of about $925 million. That’s much higher than its prior range of$850 million to $860 million.

    Markets are cheering a major development in efforts to fix the ongoing trade conflict between the United States and China. According to Reuters, Chinese telecom giant ZTE has signed an agreement to get back into business with its American partners. The agreement will lift a ban by the U.S. Commerce Department that prevented China’s No. 2 telecommunications equipment from buying from U.S. suppliers. This is a major development, and one that signals progress among trade officials from both nations. There are now more job openings in the United States than available workers. This is the first time that the Department of Labor has documented this phenomenon. There are 6.7 million openings compared to the 6.4 million workers available to fill those positions. As a result, U.S. companies have been forced to increase compensation in order to attract talent. All of the positive economic development could come to a screeching halt should the U.S. experience the largest labor strike in a decade. Reports indicate that the Teamsters and the United Parcel Service (NYSE: UPS) are on a collision course that could result in a general strike. The union has announced that 260,000 UPS employees have authorized a strike should both sides fail to reach a labor deal by August 1. UPS is responsible for the transport of 6% of the nation’s gross domestic product.

    Many people think of recreational vehicles as part of an iconic American pastime associated with the love of the open road. For Thor Industries (NYSE:THO), the RV manufacturer’s corporate home in Elkhart, Indiana, might seem about as far removed from international trade tensions as you could image. Yet even though the RV market has been extremely strong lately, Thor believes that what’s been going on between Washington and foreign trade partners could create headwinds that will eventually make their way to this company in America’s heartland.
