Ramsay Health Care

RHC delivered 8% revenue growth in FY20, with a strong 1H more than offsetting the 4% decline experienced in 2H.

Australia suffered the greatest contraction in 2H, down 8% on the same time last year. UK revenue growth remained solid, up almost 5%.

Based on normalization in FY22 earnings, we have the stock trading on a forward yield of 2.2%.

Ramsay Health Care – Rallies 10%

Ramsay Health Care is faced with flat earnings in 2020 and only moderate growth FY21. For patient long-term investors, there’s an income opportunity with defensive low levels of growth.

We see buying support increasing near the $60 level.

The above post is from early August when RHC was trading in the $60 – $62 price range. The stock is now approaching $70 and short-term traders can consider taking profit between $68 – $70.

Ramsay Health Care is under Algo Engine buy conditions and has now been added into the ASX 100 model portfolio.

Ramsay Firms After AGM

Shares of RHC have been edging higher as investors respond favorably to their recent AGM on Tuesday.

With respect to their Capio AB acquisition, management continues to target overall positive core growth of up to 2% in FY 2019.

With the share price at  22X present earnings, we would have liked to seen a higher rate of expected core growth to sustain a rally from current levels.

RHC remains under an ALGO sell signal but we expect the $51.00 level to show solid support and an ALGO buy signal in the medium-term.
